After I had created the Cloud Control VM (Manually Create Cloud Control VM from Appliance), I found that I did not know the passwords for the system accounts—root, and oracle. There are none given in the README file for the VM instructions.
RESOLVED.
I used the procedure given in How to Reset "root" Password with GRUB on Enterprise Linux [ID 431260.1].
I used the following command on VICTORIA to shut the VM machine (OVM_EM12R2) down:
xm shutdown OVM_EM12R2After a few seconds, the following message appeared on the console:
System halted.
I then started the VM machine with the following command:
xm create vm.cfg -cWhen the list of kernels appeared in the console window, I press the a key. Then I changed the following line:
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.32-200.13.1.el5uek ro root=LABEL=/ numa=off
To the following by appending a 1:
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.32-200.13.1.el5uek ro root=LABEL=/ numa=off 1
The boot continued.
I then used xtightvncviewer running under Ubunutu to enter single user mode (which does not require a password) to change the passwords for the following user:
I then rebooted the VM machine:
reboot
