The VM under VirtualBox has proven to be unstable with several crashes. I have decided to move GORDON to VICTORIA. This means that VICTORIA will now be restricted to running a maximum of three (3) VM images:
This accounts for 14 GB out of 15 GB (one (1) GB is needed for XEN supervisor). Thus, RAC will have to move elsewhere.
In Victoria VM Resources, the resource allocations are made:
Allocate Disk Space
On VICTORIA, the following commands are run as root to create the directory and disk files for GORDON:
mkdir -p /OVS/running_pool/GORDON/ cd /OVS/running_pool/GORDON/ dd bs=1G count=50 if=/dev/zero of=root_disk dd bs=1G count=20 if=/dev/zero of=data_disk dd bs=1G count=30 if=/dev/zero of=fra_disk
Create XEN Configuration File for GORDON
On VICTORIA, the following commands are run as root to create the XEN configuration file for GORDON:
cd /OVS/running_pool/GORDON/ cat gordon.hvm <<DONE # ===================================================================== # HVM guest configuration for GORDON # Generated $(date +"%F %T") # ===================================================================== # # This is a fairly minimal example of what is required for an # HVM guest.

Followed the procedure in Install Oracle Enterprise Linux 7.2.
