We pick our home IP address in our IPv4 settings
and the required Netmask, which in this case is 255.255.255.0.
Fill in the Gateway and Primary DNS server.
I have a VM, which has a full Windows ads 2003 server running that we will use
to run other Oracle software, such as Oracle RAC when we move on to the Xen section
of our Oracle RAC virtualization series.
Add the Oracle VM name manually,
“oraclevm.avastu.com’.
Select your time zone; I chose ‘Europe/Amsterdam’.
Type the password for the “Oracle VM Agent”,
which will be used by the Oracle VM manager.
Choose a secure password for “root.”
Choose “ok.”
Below are a couple of screenshots to see
how it goes from here.
We can see the deep integration of the Oracle
Virtual Server, kernel-ovs; I am assuming with Xen support.
Reboot the machine.
During the startup, you will be asked to
sign this EULA; please read it carefully. I cannot stress this enough, it is a
matter of Oracle and Virtualization software, and distributing it is not the
right way to go.
Above is a screenshot of a plain console
of the oracle Hypervisor or the Oracle VM. You can clearly see the configured NICs
and bridges.
Conclusion
We have looked at the virtualization
solution of Oracle VM or the new Oracle Hypervisor, which is based on the open
source product we all so very well know as Xen. In the last couple of weeks,
since VMware’s IPO, the market, investors, and well practically everyone, has
acknowledged the presence of virtualization, which VMware has pioneered on the
x86 server market. In a future article, we will do the Oracle VM Manager
version 2.1 on an Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 platform, after which, we will try
to see how we can run other virtualization techniques that Oracle has promised that
are not yet available.
