Access to the Oracle VM Manager web user interface and command line interface is provided without restrictions. The configuration of Oracle Virtual Compute Appliance components within Oracle VM Manager is automatic and handled by the Oracle Virtual Compute Appliance provisioning process. Altering the configuration of these components directly within Oracle VM Manager is not supported and may result in the malfunction of the appliance.
Use of Oracle VM Manager in the context of Oracle Virtual Compute Appliance should be limited to the management and creation of virtual machines.
Configuring additional storage, creating repositories, and setting up additional networks specifically for the use of virtual machines is possible. However, this should be done carefully, to avoid disrupting the configuration specific to the Oracle Virtual Compute Appliance.
Management of virtual machines and your Oracle VM environment is achieved using the Oracle VM Manager Web UI (User Interface). While Oracle VM Manager does provide a command line interface, use of this on your Oracle Virtual Compute Appliance should only be attempted by advanced users with a thorough understanding of Oracle VM and the limitations of its usage within an Oracle Virtual Compute Appliance context.
The information provided in here, is a description of the Oracle VM Manager Web UI within the context of the Oracle Virtual Compute Appliance. Where particular actions within the Oracle VM Manager Web UI are referenced, a link to the appropriate section within the Oracle VM User's Guide is provided. The complete Oracle VM User's Guide is available at this URL: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E35328_01/E35332/html/index.html.
When consulting the Oracle VM documentation directly, keep in mind the limitations imposed by using it within Oracle Virtual Compute Appliance.
The Oracle VM Manager Web UI is available via the IP address that you configured for your management nodes during installation. This virtual IP address is automatically assigned to whichever management node is currently the active node within the cluster. If the management node becomes unavailable, the standby management node is promoted to the active role and takes over the IP address automatically. See Section 1.5, “High Availability” for more information on management node failover.
The Oracle VM Manager Web UI is configured to listen for HTTPS requests on port 7002.
