This example creates a server pool using the Oracle VM Servers, and the server pool file system on the file system-based storage (NFS server). You need an IP address to use as the virtual IP address to enable clustering and HA. Replace the server pool information in this example with that of your environment.
To create a server pool:
Click the Servers and VMs tab.
Click Create Server Pool
from the toolbar.
The Create a Server Pool wizard is displayed. Enter the server pool information.
Enter a name and virtual IP address for the server pool.
Select Clustered Server Pool to enable clustering of the Oracle VM Servers in the server pool, which is required to enable HA.
The server pool file system is used to hold the server pool
and cluster data, and is also used for cluster heartbeating.
If you are using a file server for the server pool file
system, select Network File
System as the storage type to use for the server
pool. If you are using a physical disk on a storage array as
the server pool file system, select
Physical Disk as the storage
type. Click Storage Location
to search for the server pool file system.
Select the file system to use for the server pool file system and click OK.
Click Next to add Oracle VM Servers to the server pool.
The Add Servers step of the wizard is displayed. Add Oracle VM Servers to the Selected Servers field and click Finish.
The Oracle VM Servers are added to the server pool and ready to use to create virtual machines.

The next step is to create a storage repository to use for virtual machine resources.
