8.8 Console screen fails to display after upgrading Oracle VM Server from Release 3.3.4 to Release 3.4.2

When the upgrade to Oracle VM Server Release 3.4.2 completes, and you select the option to reboot, the console displays the login prompt instead of the Oracle VM Server 3.4.2 Console screen.

Workaround: To ensure the Oracle VM Server 3.4.2 Console screen is displayed:

  1. At the login prompt, enter your login credentials.

  2. Open /etc/sysconfig/init for editing.

  3. Update the ACTIVE_CONSOLES setting option from:

    ACTIVE_CONSOLES=/dev/tty[1-6]

    to:

    ACTIVE_CONSOLES=/dev/tty[2-6]

  4. Save and close the file.

  5. Reboot Oracle VM Server for the updates to take effect.
