2.5. Installing Oracle VM Server Support Tools

Additional packages that Oracle VM Server is not dependent on, but which can be useful to resolve support issues are also available within the Oracle VM Server ISO. Depending on your own security policy, you may or may not choose to install these packages. They are not installed automatically by default. If you choose to install them, you can do so by installing the ovs-support-tools meta-package by running the following command on Oracle VM Server as root:

# yum install ovs-support-tools

This meta-package will install the following dependencies:

Note

The sudo package is installed automatically by default on Oracle VM Server 3.1.1. If you have upgraded from Oracle VM Server 3.1.1, the sudo package is already installed. If you do not want this package present on your Oracle VM Server installation, you should manually remove the package by running the following command as root:

# yum remove sudo
