This section contains the prerequisite operating system packages that may be required prior to installing Oracle VM Manager.

3.3.2.5.1. libaio

If you select during the Oracle VM Manager installation to use Oracle Database 11g Express Edition (Oracle XE) as the management data repository, you must install the libaio package. You must install libaio release 0.3.104 or above.

If your computer is configured with Oracle Unbreakable Linux Network (ULN) you can run either of the following commands to update or install libaio, whichever is appropriate for your system:

# yum install libaio

or

# up2date libaio

You can also find the libaio package on the Oracle Linux DVD or ISO file. To install libaio, go to the directory where the libaio.rpm is located, and enter the command:

# rpm -ivh libaio-version.rpm

To upgrade libaio, you can use the command:

# rpm -Uvh libaio-version.rpm
3.3.2.5.2. unzip

If you have a minimal installation of Oracle Linux, you may not have unzip installed, which is a required package for the Oracle VM Manager installer. To install unzip, enter:

# yum install unzip
3.3.2.5.3. bc

If you plan to use the Oracle XE database as the management data repository, you must install the bc package (GNU numeric processing language). To install bc, enter:

# yum install bc
