A.5.1 Setting Up the Server

This section sets up the server using the command line interface of OVM Manager. All configurations or setup can also be done from the GUI/dashboard of OVM Manager.

Perform the following steps using using OVM-M CLI:
  1. Log into the OVM-M command line interface.
    ssh –l admin <OVM-M IP> -p 1000
    For example:
    [root@manager01 ~]# ssh -l admin 10.240.16.138 -p 10000
admin@10.240.16.138's password:
  2. To discover Oracle VM server, run the command:
    discoverServer ipAddress=value password=value takeOwnership= { Yes | No }
    For example:
    OVM>discoverServer ipAddress=10.240.16.139 password=password takeOwnership=Yes
  3. To create an ethernet-based network with the VM role, run the command:
    create Network [ roles= { MANAGEMENT | LIVE_MIGRATE | CLUSTER_HEARTBEAT | VIRTUAL_MACHINE | STORAGE } ] name=value [ description=value ] [ on Server instance ]
    For example:
    OVM>create Network name=XMI roles=VIRTUAL_MACHINE
  4. To add a port from each Oracle VM server to the network, perform the following steps:

    Note:

    Skip this step and proceed to Step 5 for bonded interfaces.
    1. Find the ID of an Ethernet port.
      OVM> show Server name=MyServer1
...
Ethernet Port 1 = 0004fb00002000007711332ff75857ee
[eth0 on MyServer3.virtlab.info]
Ethernet Port 2 = 0004fb0000200000d2e7d2d352a6654e
[eth1 on MyServer3.virtlab.info]
Ethernet Port 3 = 0004fb0000200000c12192a08f2236e4
[eth2 on MyServer3.virtlab.info]
    2. Add a port from each Oracle VM Server to the network.
      OVM>add Port instance to { BondPort | Network } instance
      For example:
      OVM>add Port id=0004fb0000200000d2e7d2d352a6654e to Network name=MyVMNetwork
  5. To create Bondport, for Bonded Interfaces, perform the following steps:
    1. Find the ID of an Ethernet port.
      OVM>list Port
