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/

Configuration File for REVESBY1

The VM configuration file, vm.cfg, is as follows:

cat >/OVS/running_pool/REVESBY1/vm.cfg <<DONE

bootloader = '/usr/bin/pygrub'
