Oracle VM Manager Configuration Worksheet

The Oracle VM software factory installed on your server includes optional Oracle Linux VM Manager software.

If you already have an Oracle VM Manager installed on your network, it is not necessary to deploy the Oracle Linux VM Manager, since you can register the new Oracle VM Server to the existing VM Manager. In this case, when the installation script asks Deploy Oracle VM Manager virtual machine?, enter n (no). It is not necessary to fill out the worksheet for Oracle VM Manager configuration.

However, if you do not currently have an Oracle VM Manager in your configuration, enter y (yes) in response to the question about deploying a VM Manager, and then configure the Oracle VM Manager by responding to the on screen prompts. Use the following worksheet to collect the information you need to configure the Oracle VM Manager.


Note - If you do not install the Oracle VM Manager and you do not already have an existing Oracle VM Manager as part of your configuration, you will be unable to use the Oracle VM Server software.
