2.3.3 Oracle VM Utilities Scripts

When you unzip the Oracle VM Utilities archive, a subdirectory named ovm_utils is created, containing these utility scripts:

  • ovm_vmcontrol

  • ovm_vmdisks

  • ovm_vmhostd

  • ovm_vmmessage

  • ovm_reporestore

  • vm-dump-metrics

To get help on each command, execute the command without any options, for example:

# /u01/app/oracle/ovm-manager-3/ovm_utils/ovm_vmcontrol

For each of these utility scripts, a man page is also included. These help files can be found in /u01/app/oracle/ovm-manager-3/ovm_utils/man/man8/.

# ls -1 /u01/app/oracle/ovm-manager-3/ovm_utils/man/man8/
ovm_reporestore.8
ovm_vmcontrol.8
ovm_vmdisks.8
ovm_vmhostd.8
ovm_vmmessage.8

Use the man command to display the help, for example:

 # man man/man8/ovm_vmcontrol.8
