About Oracle Database Appliance
Oracle Database Appliance is a pre-built, ready to deploy platform for Oracle Database.
Oracle Database Appliance is an engineered system, an integrated, full-stack solution developed for Oracle Database. Oracle hardware and software are designed to work perfectly together and are able to run crucial customer workloads faster, at lower costs, and with greater security than multivendor, on-premises ‘build your own’ solutions. Each Oracle Database Appliance system consists of server nodes, networking, and redundant storage. Oracle Database Appliance can be a single node model (S for small, M for Medium and in the case of X6-2L, for Large), or a two node HA model (HA models support high-availability). With the High-Availability models, you get two clustered nodes and you are able to create highly-available Oracle RAC databases easily and quickly using either the browser user interface (BUI) or the command-line interface (CLI).
Why Use Virtualization and How does Oracle Database Appliance provide a Virtualization Solution
Understand how Oracle Database Appliance can address your virtualization requirements.
Why use Virtualization?
There are several reasons why virtualization might be considered. Virtual Machines (VMs) can be used to consolidate and to utilize resources more effectively. Rather than disable cores that are not licensed, you can utilize them for other workloads. This can reduce the number of physical servers, resulting in space, power maintenance reductions, and cost savings. Virtualization is a great technology that provides application and database isolation and enables bundling of applications, middleware, and databases on the same hardware.
How does Oracle Database Appliance provide a Virtualization Solution?
Oracle Database Appliance has provided virtualization since Oracle Database Appliance release 2.5. To use virtualization on Oracle Database Appliance earlier, it had to be deployed with a special image. Users had to decide before deploying Oracle Database Appliance to go with either the bare metal (BM) image or the virtualized platform image (VP). To change from one layout to the other, the appliance had to be reimaged from scratch. Oracle Database Appliance VP was only available for Oracle Database Appliance High Availability (2 node appliance) and not for single node appliance. Virtualization on Oracle Database Appliance was introduced to allow the utilization of cores not licensed for Oracle Database. To avoid leaving these cores unused, virtualization allowed to utilize them for virtual machines hosting applications, webservers, and others. To host not only the database tier, but also the application and web tier on the same Oracle Database Appliance is also known as Solution-in-a-Box. This concept is widely adopted and not only used for Oracle Applications like EBS, WLS, Peoplesoft, Oracle Hospitality to name a few, but as well for many customer and third party software vendor developed applications.
In the past virtualization on Oracle Database Appliance was implemented with Oracle Virtual Machine (OVM) which is a type 1 bare metal hypervisor based on xen technology. Virtualization on Oracle Database Appliance is now available with KVM. KVM stands for Kernel-based Virtual Machine and is a type 2 host OS-based hypervisor. KVM provides modules that enable the Linux kernel to be used as a hypervisor. It is available on all Oracle Database Appliance hardware models (single node and HA). KVM is a mature technology that has been around since 2007 and offers several advantages. To name one, Oracle Database Appliance does not need separate bare metal system and virtualized platform images anymore. Starting with Oracle Database Appliance 19.9, Oracle Database Appliance integrated KVM support for applications. A user can use the built-in BUI or the command line to manage the Application VM life cycle on Oracle Database Appliance. The user is responsible for managing the application inside the KVM, for the Oracle Database Appliance software tooling it is a ‘black box’. Starting with Oracle Database Appliance 19.10, Oracle Database Appliance integrates KVM support for Oracle databases. A user can use Oracle Database Appliance's built-in BUI or the command line to manage both DB System (database KVM system on Oracle Database Appliance) life cycle and databases inside DB Systems. DB Systems allow Oracle hard partitioning licensing, thus a user only needs to have Oracle Database licenses for the CPU cores assigned to the DB System.
Oracle Database Appliance Virtualization Terminology
Understand the terminology used in this document.
- Virtual Machine (VM): Image and virtual resources that behave like an actual server within the host server.
- KVM guest machine: The software on an application VM with an independent operating system instance.
- DB System (KVM Database System): A database VM which runs an Oracle Database on Oracle Database Appliance. The DB System is created and managed by Oracle Database Appliance tooling.
- VM Storage: Central location for storing resources needed to create virtual machines.
- Virtual Network: Separate virtual network for the VM.
- Virtual Disk: Additional storage option for VMs to add additional block storage.
- KVM Database System Networks: Default networks created on Oracle Database Appliance, which are the public network (vnetwork pubnet) and the internal managed cluster interconnect and Oracle ASM network.
Solution-in-a-Box Designs
There are three basic scenarios on how to install the application along with the database on an Oracle Database Appliance. For an Oracle Database Appliance High-Availability hardware model, there are additional designs since your database can be a Oracle RAC or a single instance database on one node only and depending on your application, you may be able to run it on one or both nodes.
The basic scenarios are:
Application and Database installed in bare metal system
This option is only applicable for a few applications which do not interfere with the database software and operating system installation. One supported example is the Oracle Enterprise Manager software.
Description of the illustration option1_application_db_in_bm.png
Database installed in bare metal system, Application installed in KVM guest machine
This option does not allow hard partitioning, that is, separation of cores for database and application is not possible.
Description of the illustration option2_application_in_bm_db_in_kvm.png
Database and Application in separate KVM guest machines
This third option is ideal to separate resources for databases and applications and license them independently. This step-by-step guide covers an example of the third case since this is the best solution for most use cases.
Description of the illustration option3_application_db_in_kvm.png
High-Availability and Networking Considerations
Understand the high-availability and networking options when deploying your Solution-in-a-Box.
High-Availability Considerations
With Oracle Database Appliance, the best High Availability
option is to use an Oracle RAC database. An Oracle RAC One Node
design may be sufficient for your availability requirements as well.
These options are only available with an Oracle Database Enterprise
Edition (EE) licence. Oracle Database Standard Edition (SE) Oracle
databases have Standard Edition High Availability (SEHA) feature
enabled. The KVM guest machines you create for your applications are
set up by default to auto-restart and auto-failover. You can confirm
the setting by running the command odacli
describe-vm. The output displays: Auto
start: YES - Fail over: YES
Networking Considerations
Oracle Database Appliance KVM virtual network supports two type of networks, bridged and bridged-vlan. For bridged network, a bridge is created and a NIC or a bond is attached to it. On the public network, selected during appliance deployment, a bridge with the name pubnet is attached. If a VM needs access to pubnet, it can be attached to this network. This pubnet vnetwork cannot be modified or deleted. If additional bridged virtual networks are required, then they can be created on other interfaces that are not used for the pubnet. For DB Systems on Oracle Database Appliance release 19.10, you cannot use a virtual network other than the pubnet. With later releases of Oracle Database Appliance, VLANs can be created on all available public interfaces, including the interface on which the public network is already configured. When planning to run one or more DB Systems, be aware that every DB System requires its own set of VIPs and SCAN IPs.Solution: Create an Application VM with Linux Operating System
Following is an example of how to set up an application VM or a Compute Instance with Linux operating system.
Tip:
Do not use Oracle KVM guest machines to run an Oracle database. Use DB systems, instead, to run an Oracle database. Some of the following steps are mandatory as indicated, and other steps are optional. Decide to run the optional steps based on how you designed your Solution-in-a-Box. For example, if your application VM must only use a defined number of CPUs, then, you must create a VM CPU Pool as part of the process. Creation of VM storage is mandatory as several application VMs can share a single VM storage. If you have specific network requirements, you can create additional virtual networks for these purposes. Another optional step is the creation of virtual disks. One VM disk is created for each application guest KVM as part of the VM instance creation. You can create additional virtual disks for your application VM and these virtual disks can be shared between different application VMs, if required.Step 1: Create a VM CPU Pool (Optional)
Create a CPU pool to specify how many CPU cores your KVM should use. This CPU pool is later assigned to the KVM guest machine.
In the Browser User Interface (BUI), in the Appliance tab, navigate to the Create CPU Pool page and specify the CPU Pool Name, Number of CPU Cores, and select the CPU Pool Type as VM Instance. You can specify the sockets to use for the CPU pool. To use all sockets, do not specify any value.
Description of the illustration create_cpu_pool_1919.png
ODACLI command for creating a CPU pool:
# odacli create-cpupool -n testcpupool -c 2 -vmStep 2: Create VM Storage
In the Appliance tab, select Compute Instances, and then navigate to the Create VM Storage page and specify Storage Name, Storage Size, and ASM Disk group. Click Create.
Description of the illustration create_vm_stor_1919.png
ODACLI command for creating VM storage:
# odacli create-vmstorage -n testvmstor -s 100G -dg DATA Note that the default value of -dg is
DATA.
Step 3: Create a Virtual Network (if required)
Any VM
that needs to access the public network must be attached to the
pubnet virtualnetwork. No bridged network other than the default
pubnet bridge is allowed to be created on the public network
interface. Additional bridged vnetwork (public network without
tagged VLAN configuration) can be created on other interfaces that
are not used for the public network. It is not mandatory to assign
IP addresses to the bridge. IP addresses are only required if
communication between the bare metal system host and the KVM guest
is desired. When two IP addresses are assigned to a
high-availability machine, the first will be assigned to the bridge
on node0 and the second IP address to
node1.
Description of the illustration create_virnet_1919.png
ODACLI command for creating a virtual network:
# odacli create-vnetwork –name officenet –bridge bridge4kvm –type bridged –interface bond1 –ip xx.xx.xx.xx –gateway xx.xx.xx.xx –netmask xx.xx.xx.xxStep 4: Create Virtual Disk (if required)
During the VM creation, a VM disk is created to host the operating system. If additional disks are required ,you must create them in advance. Using virtual disks provides better control over the storage layout of your VM.
Description of the illustration create_vdisk_1919.png
ODACLI command for creating a virtual disk:
# odacli create-vdisk -n testvmdisk -vms testvmstor -s 49G -shStep 5: Create the VM Instance
To create the VM go to ‘VM Instances’ and ‘Create VM’. Type in the mandatory information for your VM plus the additional configuration you would like to use for your VM guest. Mandatory information is the ‘VM name’, ‘VM Storage Name’, the path to the application to install, under ‚Source installation‘. You have as well to define how many CPUs and how much memory to use for the VM. If you have created a CPU Pool a Virtual Disk or a Virtual Network, select them into the respective fields. Specify the size of the OS disk to be created for your VM guest in “VM Disk Size”. If you need your VM to access the DB System via the pubnet, make sure ‘pubnet’ is selected in the ‘Virtual Networks’.
In the Appliance tab,
select Compute Instances, and then navigate to the Create
VM Instance page and specify VM
Name and VM Storage Name.
Specify the path for the installation of application in the
Source Installation field. Define the
Number of vCPUS to use and the
Maximum Memory Size for the VM. If
you have created a CPU pool, virtual disk, or virtual network, then
specify their names. Specify the operating system disk size to be
created for your guest VM in the VM Disk Size
field. To ensure that your VM can access the DB system through the
pubnet, select pubnet in the Virtual
Networks field. Click
Create.
Description of the illustration create_vm_instance_1919.png
ODACLI command for creating a VM instance:
# odacli create-vm -n testvm -vc 2 -m 8G -vms testvmstor -vd testvmdisk -s 49G -cp testcpupool -vn pubnet,kvmnet -src /u01/software/OL77_x86_64.isoStep 6: Complete the operating system installation
If the creation of the VM was successful, use the
odacli describe-vm command to check the VNC
port.
# odacli describe-vm -n testvm

nameserver your first DNS server
nameserver your second DNS serverStep 10: Test for the required connectivity to the VM guest machine
Test that you are able to connect to all guest machines and clients (database, external machines, and others). To connect as root through SSH, you may need to change SELINUX to permissive mode in the/etc/selinux/config file. If required, test this
connectivity as well after you migrate the VM guest machine to the other
node. To migrate the node, run the following
commands:# odacli describe-vm -n testvm2 | grep 'Current node'
Current node: node1
# odacli migrate-vm -n testvm2 -to node2
# odacli describe-vm -n testvm2 | grep 'Current node'
Current node: node2
Solution: Create an Application VM with Linux Operating System Using a Kickstart File
Following is an example of how to use a kickstart file to automate some of the steps in the operating system configuration.
For example, you can set the root password, IP address, host name and other settings using the kickstart file. Specify the kickstart file location in the ODACLI command to create a KVM. Follow these steps:
Step 1: Set up the HTTP Server that Hosts the Kickstart File
Currently, ODACLI only supports kickstart configuration file over the network.
# yum install httpd# systemctl enable httpd --nowStep 2: Create a Kickstart File
The easiest way to create a kickstart file is to use one from an existing Oracle
Linux machine. Each Oracle Linux installation creates a kickstart
file, for example, /root/anaconda-ks.cfg. You can
use the file to repeat an installation, or you can customise the
settings in this file for different system configurations. The
following example displays a kickstart file from the earlier manual
installation with updated network information and a different root
password:
# Network information
network --bootproto=static --device=eth0 --gateway=ww.xx.yy.1 --ip=ww.xx.yy.zz --nameserver=aa.bb.cc.dd --netmask=iii.iii.iii.iii --noipv6 --activate network --hostname=mykvmhost
# Root password
rootpw welcome1Store the file on the HTTP server as /var/www/html/ks.txt.
Step 3: Access Kicsktart File from Oracle Database Appliance
To verify that you can access the kickstart file, from the Oracle Database Appliance bare metal system server, run the command:
curl -I "st.uv.wx.yz:80/ks.txt" ←replace st.uv.wx.yz with the IP address of your http serverThe contents of the ks.txt file are displayed.
Step 4: Install the KVM on Oracle Database Appliance
Run the odacli create-vm command and provide the
additional kickstart information with the
--extra-args option. Provide under
ip= the IP, gateway, subnet and hostname of
the VM you want to deploy, for example,
ip=ip::gateway:netmask:hostname:interface:none.
In ks=, specify the location of the
ks.txt file as explained in Step 3.
Following is an
example:
odacli create-vm -n testkick -vc 2 -m 8G -vms testvmstor -s 49G -vn pubnet -src /u01/software/OL77_x86_64.iso --extra-args "dns=aa.bb.cc.dd ip=ww.xx.yy.zz::ww.xx.yy.1:iii.iii.iii.iii:mykvmhost.us.oracle.com:eth0:none ks=st.uv.wx.yz:80/ks.txt"odacli create-vm command
completes, check the VNC connection details of the VM as
follows:# odacli describe-vm -n testkick|grep Display ← where testkick is the name of your VM
Display Port: 127.0.0.1:2To monitor the progress of the operation, use a VNC
client of your choice and connect to host:vncport
(the host is your Oracle Database Appliance bare metal system, the
VNC port is from the vncserver command).
Description of the illustration vnc_settings.png
The command prompt in the VNC viewer is displayed.
Specify vncviewer 127.0.0.1:2 in the command
prompt. Note that this Display Port: 127.0.0.1:2 is the same as
displayed in the odacli describe-vm
output.

Solution: Create an Application VM with Windows OS
Following is an example of how to set up an application VM or Compute Instance with Microsoft Windows operating system.
The following procedure is applicable for Oracle Database Appliance release 19.12 or later. If your Oracle Database Appliance is on an earlier release, then follow the instructions in My Oracle Support Note 2748946.1 at the location https://support.oracle.com/rs?type=doc&id=2748946.1.
Before you start, download the Oracle VirtIO Drivers Version
for Microsoft Windows software either from Oracle Software Delivery Cloud or
from My Oracle Support. For details, refer to the Oracle
Linux KVM User's Guide . With BUI of Oracle Database
Appliance release 19.12 or 19.11, the option to define an external source is
not available. Use ODACLI commands to create the VM with the option

KVM configuration as follows:
- Stop the VM:
odacli stop-vm -n winvm - View the list of configured
disks:
virsh domblklist winvm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- vda /u05/app/sharedrepo/winvmstor/.ACFS/snaps/vm_winvm/winvm vdb /u05/app/sharedrepo/winvmstor/.ACFS/snaps/vdisk_winvmdisk/winvmdisk hda /tmp/win19.iso hdb /tmp/winvirtio.iso - Detach
disks:
virsh detach-disk winvm hda –config (to detach the install media) - Detach the driver
disk:
virsh detach-disk winvm hdb –config (to detach the virtio driver disk) - Replace the KVM XML file in
/u05/app/sharedrepo/your_kvm_storagewith the XML file at/etc/libvirt/qemu:cp /etc/libvirt/qemu/winvm.xml /u05/app/sharedrepo/winvmstor/.ACFS/snaps/vm_winvm/winvm.xml - Rename or remove the
.isofiles from/tmp. - Start the
VM:
odacli start-vm -n winvm - Test the KVM migration to the other
node:
#odacli migrate-vm -n winvm -to second_node_name
Creating a DB System
Understand how you can create a KVM DB system on Oracle Database Appliance.
Always review the latest Oracle Database Appliance documentation library for the features and configuration details for each release since these procedures may change with each release.
Oracle Database Appliance documentation library is available at:
https://docs.oracle.com/en/engineered-systems/oracle-database-appliance/index.html
The space reserved on Oracle ACFS storage for a DB system node is fixed at 200 GB. This is the space assigned for the operation system, Oracle Grid Infrastructure home and the database home of the DB system. The database files are stored on Oracle ASM disk groups of the Oracle Database Appliance bare metal system to which the Oracle Grid Infrastructure of the DB System connects as a client.
Follow these steps to create a DB system on your appliance:
