Before You Begin

Note:

  • Do not use this procedure if you are running Exalogic Elastic Cloud Software 2.0.6.4.x. The recommended and supported way to create a template from a vServer on EECS 2.0.6.4.x is by using EKIT, as described in the following MOS document: Exalogic Kinetic Infrastructure Tools (EKIT): Set of scripts that provide common reusable command line infrastructure actions for Exalogic virtual platforms

  • EKIT is also highly recommended and supported for EECS 2.0.6.3.x and earlier releases.
  • If you are familiar with Oracle Exalogic Control, Oracle VM Manager, and Oracle Linux system administration, you may perform the following procedure for EECS 2.0.6.3.x and earlier releases.

  • Before you try to create a server template from a running vServer, ensure that you have customized the vServer to the desired configuration by adding or removing RPM packages, attaching and configuring storage volumes, modifying swap space, configuring Linux Volume Manager, and so on.

    For information about adding disks, increasing disk size, or modifying swap space on an existing vServer, see Customizing Guest vServer Images.
