Before you install Oracle VM, you must meet the following requirements:
For the system that will be running Oracle VM Server, you must start out with a clean installation (no preinstalled OS or firmware-level RAID volumes).
The system that will be running Oracle VM Manager must have one of the following operating systems installed:
Oracle Enterprise Linux Release 4.5 or later
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Release 4 or later
You must have an Oracle VM media set or equivalent ISO images for VM Server and VM Manager.
The ISO images can be used for remote installation or for creating installation CDs.
Review the release notes for the Oracle VM software. The documentation set can be found at: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15458_01/index.htm
DVD-ROM drive.
Note - If you are installing remotely, the DVD-ROM drive, keyboard, mouse, and monitor are connected to the local system instead of the server. Also, you can use an ISO image instead of an actual DVD/CD-ROM.
USB keyboard and mouse.
Monitor.
While configuring an OS for a networked server, it might be necessary to provide the logical names (assigned by the OS) and the physical name (MAC address) of each network interface being used on the Oracle VM server.
