Oracle VM Manager Overview:

Oracle VM3 has two new features:


1- DRS (Distributed Resource Scheduler)
Shift vms workload among servers with objective that server resources are distributed
2- DPM ( Distributed Power Management ): minimum servers will be powered on to run vms

Steps for Building Oracle VM installation:


First: OVM Servers :
1- Download OVM 3.2.7 server software image (hypervisor), its size is 250 MB,burn
to a blank cd.
2- Got to your server, put the OVM server CD and boot from it, follow installation
steps shown on the screen.
3- Repeat this installation for all servers you have.

Second: OVM Manager


1- Download OVM Manager software 3.2.6 (software to manage the whole environment
,its size= 2.5 GB.
2- Install oracle linux or redhat linux on any desktop or machine.
3- Burn the image or copy it to the linux machine.
4- Mount the dvd rom,or image you just copied, and go to that directory
5- Run (/createOracle.sh) ,this script will prepare linux for OVM installation
6- Run these commands :
yum install unzip
service iptables stop
chkconfig iptables off

7- Now,your system is ready for OVM manager installation,start it by typing


(./runInstaller.sh)
8- The final task needed to complete the installation is to install a VNC client. This will allow
you to use Oracle VM Manager to launch console sessions on running VM guests
# rpm -ivh http://oss.oracle.com/oraclevm/manager/RPMS/tightvnc-java-1.3.9-3.noarch.rpm
Retrieving http://oss.oracle.com/oraclevm/manager/RPMS/tightvnc-java-1.3.9-3.noarch.rpm
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
1:tightvnc-java ########################################### [100%]

Now,use browser and login to OVM webconsole by typing:


(https://IP_of_ovm_manager:7002/ovm/console) ,type username as admin and password
as you already set during ovm manager installation.
Next steps.is for how to configure OVM manager

Step 1 (Server Discovery)


Login to OVM manager using web browser (https://ovm_IP:7002/ovm/console)
At servers and vms tab, click on small icon as in the following picture

- default port is (8899) for ovm agent which is running at ovm server.
- Type ips of newly installed ovm servers, and password for agent.

By./Ahmad Hassaan

- Hint: during OVM server installation,it asked for two passwords, one for root,while the
other for ovm agent [this one will be used by ovm manager to connect to ovm server
and discover it]
- Server Discovery, so servers will come under un-assigned servers
- Click OK to finish servers discovery.

Step 2 (Networks)
Network Elements:

Port: is the physical nic on OVM server itself,like eth0,eth1etc


Bond: is logical nic created over one or more physical nic on single server,for example we
can create bond0 over one or two physical nics,like bond0 (eth0,eth1).
VLAN:you create one or more vlan(virtual lan)over physical nics , it is like having virtual
switch ,this switch is based on ports (eth0 on server A,eth0 on Server B , eth0 on Server
C),and of course you can have multiple vlans on the same physical port,each vlan must have
its own identifier (which is VLAN ID).
Bridges: all vms nic are bridged over ovm server network.

OVM Step By Step Guide

By./Ahmad Hassaan

Optional step :
by default there is bond0 nic created for each ovm server during installation of ovm server, but if you
want to change/add another bond you should do these steps:
1- Click Servers and VMs tab
2- Select desired server to create network bond for it.
3- From Perspective drop-down list, chose Bond Ports
4- Click on green + to add a new bond

Bond network creation window

Hint: you cant add port that has ip address assigned to it.
Addressing:
1- None: dont give ip now, just create bond
2- Use DHCP: to get ip from network
3- IP Address: put the ip address to be used
Bonding Types:
1- Active Backup: one port will be master, others are slave
2- Dynamic Link Aggregation: two or more ports will act as one big port
3- Adaptive Load Balancing: all ports are active and the bond will make load balance
between them.

(Step 2 )Creating Network:


OVM manager needs to create network layer and attach virtual machines to it,to finish this task you
must do Three Steps:
Step 1 : create Network Layer,by using Networking Tab in OVM manager console.
Step 2:create virtual interfaces vnics [till now these vnics are free and not assigned to any network].
Step 3: create your VM and give it one or more vnics, then assign this vnic to a network

OVM has four types of network as appeared in this window

Type 1: network with bonds/ports only


OVM Manager will create network using bonds and/or physical ports directly from OVM
servers.
Type 2: network with VLANs only
OVM manager will create network using vlans switch (which is already created inside
VLAN Groups)
Type 3: Hybrid(mix) network with bonds/ports and VLANs
OVM manager will make one big virtual switch composed of vlans and bonds/ports
Type 4: local network on a single server .

By./Ahmad Hassaan

Now, I chose to create network using bonds/ports only option:


1- From networking tab,click on +

2- Select first option Create a network with bonds/ports only

3- give a name, and select all network channels ,unless you have a plan for different network
channels.

4- Add all ovm servers to this network and click Next

5- Add ports that ends with (bond0) and click Next

6- Select vlan group and vlan segment if applicable (optional ,unless you will make vlans)
7- In last window,leave all values as it is,it should be as following ,then click finish

So,now you have a ready network for your virtual machines environment, next step is to
create vnics (virtual network interfaces),so when you create a new virtual machine you can
give it a network interface.

http://Solarisway.wordpress.com

OVM Step By Step Guide

By./Ahmad Hassaan

(Mandatory step )Creating VNics(virtual network interface) :


-

From Networking Tab in OVM Manager

You should have enough vnics ,as every vm will need at least one vnic,so initially you can create 20 vnics.
Put 20 in create field,then click on Auto Fill ,and click Create to finish vnics creation
Hint: later, during vm creation, we will attach vnic to that vm

This window also will tell you which vnic is used by which vm on which network.

Optional (Creating VLAN):


1- Form Networking tab,click on VLAN Gropus,and add a new VLAN
2- Give it a name .

3- add all servers or required servers to vlans


4- Select network ports that VLAN will reside on it (normally chose at least one port from each
server)
5- Determine how many vlans are reuired and click on Add ,and click on next

6- Total number of vlan interfaces = no_of_vlans * no_of_servers, in my environment ,am having


four servers,and two vlans,so total of eight vlan ports ,as you can see in next image

Step 3: Create Server Pool


1- At Servers and VMs tab,click on add new pool as in image

2- Fill data in this window:


Server Pool Name: name of the pool
Virtual IP: should be in the same ovm server subnet.
Uncheck clustered Server pool ( unless you have shared filesystem between servers that
will be added to this pool).
Click Next,and add servers to this pool

Storage:

Storage Tab:
Three locations to add/discover new disks:
1- File Servers (you have to add all details,IP,user/password)
2- SAN Servers-->Unamanged FibreChannel ( you only scan for new disks,because luns will be
assigned from SAN storage )
3- SAN Servers-->Unmanaged iSCSI (you have to config and scan for newly discovered iSCSI disks)

Repository Guide/Design:
NFS Repository can be shared across all Server Pools, while cant do for SAN volumes.

Pool FS : must be 12GB or greater and is needed only if u have a pool cluster plan,otherwise no need
for this filesystem

Creating Repository Steps:


In my environment,I have three LUN/Volumes mapped from Storage Array to all four OVM servers.
1- From repository tab, click on green + icon, chose whether NFS or Physical Disk

2- after we click on Magnifying Glass we got these options to choose one of them, select
carefully one disk, then click OK, you will be sent back to main screen ,so click on next [again
be carefull ,as once u click on next it will start creating repository,so all data on this disk will
be erased]

Importin ISO files into repository


It is very important step and mandatory,before creating vm you must have the iso image of OS that
will be used to install OS on your vm, i.e (linux,windows,solaris.etc),unlike vmware, OVM doesnt
have the option to browse or redirect cd/dvd device.
The only way is to import iso files is by ftp,so on your laptop/desktop install any free ftp server
(https://filezilla-project.org/download.php?type=server )
and create a folder and put OS iso files in that folder as following
Click here to
open Users
configuration
window

Click here to add new


users,make a new user
named ovm

sers configuration

Enter the password


for this
account,123456

Click on shared
folder to add
folder that will
contain iso files
