Each storage repository has a predefined structure, which is visible in Oracle VM Manager, and maps to the directory structure of the underlying physical storage. The directory structure is listed in Table 4.1, “File System Directories for a Storage Repository”.
The directories listed in Table 4.1, “File System Directories for a Storage Repository” are subdirectories of a storage repository file system. On disk, storage repository directories are located under the following path:
/OVS/Repositories/repository_id/...
The following table describes the storage repository directories on the file system:
Table 4.1 File System Directories for a Storage Repository
Directory Name | Description |
|---|---|
Assemblies | Contains files for virtual appliances, including OVA packages and unpacked OVF and VMDK files. See Section 4.7, “How are Virtual Appliances Managed?” for information on working with virtual appliances. Note In previous releases of Oracle VM Manager, virtual appliances were referred to as assemblies. The term virtual appliance replaces the term assembly throughout the Oracle VM Manager user interface and command line interface. However this change does not apply to some artifacts, such as the Assemblies directory on the file system. |
ISOs | Contains ISO files that can be mounted as virtual CD/DVD drives on virtual machines. See Section 4.9, “How are ISO Files (CD/DVD Images) Managed?” for information on working with ISO files. |
Contains virtual machine templates. See Section 4.8, “How are Virtual Machine Templates Managed?” for information on working with virtual machine templates. | |
Contains virtual disks, which can be either dedicated to a virtual machine or shared by multiple virtual machines. See Section 4.10, “How are Virtual Disks Managed?” for information on working with virtual disk. | |
Contains virtual machine configuration files. See Section 4.11, “How are Virtual Machine Configuration Files Managed?” for information on viewing virtual machine configuration files. |
