VM System Configuration

  1. Access the new VM:

    1. Select the new VSM GUI VM in the left pane list of virtual machines.

    2. Select the Console tab in the main right pane. You may need to click the Console screen to display the desktop login.

    3. Log in to Linux desktop:

      Username: vsmgui

      Password: vsm6admin

  2. Open a command terminal and execute Linux/System configuration:

    $ cd /opt/vsmgui/scripts

    $ ./vsmGui_config.sh

  3. Complete all configuration prompts:

    1. At Would you like to configure/re-configure Network?, select y.

    2. At Select Action, select Device Configuration and press Enter.

    3. At Select a Device, select eth0 and press Enter.

    4. At Network Configuration, enter the network configuration data for your site.

      Do not change Name: eth0 or Device: eth0.

      At Use DHCP [*], use the space bar to clear DHCP.

      Fill in the Static IP, Netmask, Default Gateway IP, and optionally the primary and secondary DNS Servers.

      Select OK to complete device configuration and then select Save to save it.

    5. Enter DNS configuration. This step is optional. Configuration for DNS does not directly affect the use of the VSM GUI application.

      Select DNS Configuration and fill in the IP addresses for the primary DNS server and, if available, the secondary and tertiary DNS servers, and also the DNS Search Path, such as mycompany.com. Do not change Hostname: vsmguisvr.

      Select OK to complete DNS configuration and then select Save&Quit to save it and exit from Network Configuration.

    6. Complete the prompts for Time Zone and NTP Server Configuration.

  4. The operating system should reboot on completion of the configuration script. If the script instead returns to a prompt after completion, reboot as follows:

    $ sudo shutdown -r now

  5. Open a command terminal and start Oracle Database service after the system reboots:

    $ su – oracle (password = vsm6sqladm!)

    $ sqlplus /nolog

    SQL> connect sys as sysdba; (password = vsm6sqladm)

    SQL> startup;

    SQL> quit

    $ lsnrctl start

    $ exit

  6. Set up the database. As user: vsmgui, enter the following commands:

    $ cd /opt/vsmgui/scripts

    $ ./vsmGui_import.sh

  7. Add an existing LDAP user that will be the VSM GUI administrator:

    $ cd /opt/vsmgui/scripts

    $ ./vsmGui_user.sh

  8. Optional: Restore VM configuration from previous OVA install.

    If this is an upgrade to a previous OVA install and you backed up the configuration files during VM system deployment, perform the following steps:

    1. Copy siteConfigData.sql to /home/vsmgui

    2. Copy config.xml to /opt/Oracle/Middleware/Oracle_Home/user_projects/domains/vsmgui/config/config.xml

    3. Run the following to restore site configuration:

      $ cd /opt/vsmgui/scripts

      $ ./siteConfigCopy.sh restore

  9. With the Oracle Database online, start the Weblogic Service:

    $ sudo service weblogicd start

    The command will direct output to the terminal during startup. After a prompt is returned, status can also be verified using the following command:

    $ sudo service weblogicd status

  10. Configure Weblogic to access the LDAP server for authentication.

    See Release Notes on how to configure for Open LDAP or Microsoft Active Services.

  11. Restart Weblogic after completing LDAP configuration:

    $ sudo service weblogicd stop

    $ sudo service weblogicd start
