Getting Started With Oracle VM

For complete information about using Oracle VM, refer to the Oracle VM documentation available at the following location:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/documentation/vm-096300.html

Here are some tips on setting up your Oracle VM environment:

• Two VMs are installed on the server as part of the preinstalled software configuration process: Oracle Solaris and Oracle Linux.

  • The default root password for the Oracle Linux VM is ovsroot.

    You configure the root password for the Oracle Solaris VM as part of the Oracle Solaris installation procedure.

  • The default console password for both VMs is oracle.

• Adding your server to an existing server pool, or creating a new one.

  In a typical Oracle VM deployment, multiple Oracle VM Servers are grouped into server pool. Every server has access to external shared storage. With Oracle VM Server software pre-installed, you can quickly place your server in a pool with shared storage.

  For Oracle VM 3.0, more information about storage and server pools can be found in the Oracle VM documentation at:

  http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/documentation/vm-096300.html

• Downloading and installing the appropriate Oracle VM Templates for your guest VMs.

  Oracle provides templates that can be used to easily deploy a prebuilt, preconfigured, pre-patched guest virtual machine (or multiple machines depending on the application). Templates are downloaded from Oracle and deployed through Oracle VM Manager.

  

  Templates can contain a complete Oracle software solution, such as Siebel CRM or Oracle Database, including the operating system (Oracle Enterprise Linux) and internally developed or third-party software. You can customize the templates for your specific environment. For more information, go to:
