Install the Kernel Software and Host Drivers

You must perform this procedure from the host console command line, which is typically accessible through the Ctrl+Alt+F2 key sequence.

1. Mount the new system disk and enable SSH for the SCP.

   chroot /mnt/sysimage
   /etc/init.d/sshd start

2. Copy the userspace RPM through SCP from TFTP server.
3. Perform one of the following:
   • Install the userspace RPM manually.

     rpm -ivh orclovn-user-6.0.0-1.x86_64.rpm

   • Install the userspace RPM  by using YUM.

     yum install orclovn-user-6.0.0-1.x86_64.rpm

4. Run the setup script to load the Oracle Virtual Networking software modules into the initrd (or initramfs) files.

   /opt/xsigo/bin/orclovn-setup --install
