When installing Oracle VM Utilities on the same server as Oracle VM Manager, it is recommended that you put them in the software directory of the Oracle VM Manager application. The Oracle VM Utilities are bundled in a .zip archive. To install, simply download the archive and extract in the appropriate directory.

Note

In the example below, we downloaded the .zip file to a file server that is also accessible from the server where we intend to install the Oracle VM Utilities. We mount this network drive on the server file system and copy the .zip file into the installation directory, where we unzip it. Depending on your local configuration and preferences you may use different methods to place the downloaded file in the installation directory.

# cp ovm_utils_archive.zip /u01/app/oracle/ovm-manager-3/
# cd /u01/app/oracle/ovm-manager-3
# unzip ovm_utils_archive.zip

At this point, the command line scripts are ready to use. Note that these scripts execute a Java program and use the default Java VM on the host computer. On the server running Oracle VM Manager, the appropriate Java VM is installed as part of the Oracle VM Manager application in /u01/app/oracle/java. No further configuration is required.
