Configuration Worksheets

Before you begin configuring the Oracle VM software, use the worksheets in this section to gather the information you will need.

Oracle VM Server Configuration

Use Worksheet for Oracle VM Manager Configuration to collect the information you will need to configure the Oracle VM Server portion of the preinstalled Oracle VM software.

Oracle VM Manager Configuration

The Oracle VM software preinstalled 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 in 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 Worksheet for Oracle VM Manager Configuration to collect the information you will 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.
