Oracle VM Manager
The Oracle VM Manager is installed on a separate server running 64-bit Linux. In this article it
was installed on Oracle Enterprise Linux (OEL) 5.7 (64-bit) with a minimum of 2G RAM, 4G
swap and firewall and secure Linux disabled. The OEL installation included the following
package groups:
 GNOME Desktop Environment
 Editors

 Graphical Internet
 Text-based Internet
 Development Libraries
 Development Tools
 Server Configuration Tools
 Administration Tools
 Base
 System Tools
 X Window System
An example of this type of Linux installations can be seen here.
Install the "oracle-validated" package to perform most of the prerequisite setup. Follow the
instructions at http://public-yum.oracle.com to setup the yum repository for OL, then perform the
following command.
# yum install oracle-validated
Create the "/u01" mountpoint and change its ownership to "oracle".
# mkdir /u01
# chown oracle:oinstall /u01
Mount the OVM media as the "root" user.
# # Real CD or DVD.
# mkdir /media/cdrom
# mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom
# # ISO image.
# mkdir /media/cdrom
# mount -o loop,ro OracleVM-Manager-3.0.1.iso /media/cdrom
Then start the installation as the "root" user. The installation requires decisions to be made about
the type of installation along with several passwords. The user entry for this installation is shown
in bold.
# cd /media/cdrom
# sh runInstaller.sh
