Procedure
Create the VM Directories
On VICTORIA, run the following commands to create two (2) directories in the Running Pool:
mkdir /OVS/running_pool/REVESBY1
mkdir /OVS/running_pool/REVESBY2
Missing File
Reviewing /OVS/seed_pool/OVM_OL6U4_X86_64_12101DBRAC_PVM/vm.cfg, I find that I am missing /OVS/seed_pool/OVM_OL6U4_X86_64_12101DBRAC_PVM/Oracle12101DBRAC_x86_64-xvdb.img.
The problem was solved by uploading V38985-01.zip to /OVS/scratch, and running the following commands:
cd /OVS/scratch
unzip -q V38985-01.zip
tar -xvjf OVM_OL6U4_X86_64_12101DBRAC_PVM-2of2.tbz
cp -r OVM_OL6U4_X86_64_12101DBRAC_PVM/* /OVS/seed_pool/OVM_OL6U4_X86_64_12101DBRAC_PVM/
Deploy Image Files into Running Pool
Run the following commands to deploy the image files into the running pool:
cd /OVS/seed_pool/OVM_OL6U4_X86_64_12101DBRAC_PVM/
cp *.img /OVS/running_pool/REVESBY1/
cp *.img /OVS/running_pool/REVESBY2/
