Design Decisions

In Oracle VM: OVS Repository Design and Storage Considerations (Doc ID 794198.1), several design criteria are enumerated. My design decisions are as follows:

1. Non-shared OVS repository storage is chosen because I have a single server for use by OVM.
2. Non-shared OVS repository filesystem is chosen because I have chosen non-shared OVS repository storage.
3. Single OVS repository is chosen because I want a simple installation.
4. Repository storage Sizing is chosen to fill the unallocated storage.
5. Resource placement is set because there is a single repository.

Procedure

From Oracle VM Server Repository - Directory Structure and Usage (OVM2) (Doc ID 468101.1), the following directories are created:

cd /OVS

mkdir iso_pool

mkdir publish_pool

mkdir seed_pool

mkdir shareDisk

mkdir running_pool

An additional directory was created for the extraction of uploaded template files:

cd /OVS

mkdir scratch
