Server Installation Guide
Release 2.2
E15442-01
October 2009
You should download the first one 1) V77111-01.iso Oracle VM server 3.3.3 for x86_64 (64 bit) As Oracle VM is open source software, therefore source code is also.
This document is intended for system administrators who wish to install Oracle VM Server. This document discusses downloading and installing Oracle VM Server. It contains:
1 Preinstallation Tasks and Requirements
Before you start the Oracle VM Server installation, make sure your computer meets the minimum hardware and software requirements. This section contains:
1.1Hardware Requirements
Oracle VM Server supports computers with x86 (i686) and x86_64 processors. This includes all Intel Pentium Pro or newer, and all AMD Athlon/Duron processors and newer. At least a Pentium 4 or Athlon CPU is recommended.
For hardware virtualized (unmodified) guest operating systems (for example, Microsoft Windows), a CPU with hardware virtualization support is required. This includes some Intel Pentium D, Core, Core2 and Xeon models, and some AMD Athlon and Opteron models. This feature may also need to be enabled in the BIOS. Please refer to your processor documentation for information on whether your processor supports hardware virtualization and how to enable it in the BIOS.
A dual core CPU or multiple CPUs are recommended to run multiple guests.
The minimum memory requirement is 1GB RAM, although it is recommended you have a computer with at least 2GB RAM. Guest memory requirements vary for each guest operating system. You should perform your own memory sizing for guest operating systems.
1.2Software Requirements
There are no prerequisite software requirements. Oracle VM Server includes a small Linux-based management operating system. All previous operating systems and data are lost during the installation of Oracle VM Server.
Migration from any operating system, or previous virtualization environment, is not supported in this release.
1.3 Network Requirements
It is recommended that you install Oracle VM Server on a machine with a static IP address. If your machines uses DHCP you should configure your DHCP server to assign static DHCP addresses. This makes sure your host always receives the same IP address. The behavior of the Oracle VM Server host is undefined if used in an environment where your IP address may change due to DHCP lease expiry.
1.4 Getting the Software
If you do not already have the Oracle VM Server software, download the Oracle VM Server ISO file from:
Burn the Oracle VM Server ISO file to a bootable CDROM.
You can install Oracle VM Server from a number of sources:
- Local CDROM
- Hard drive
- NFS server
- FTP server
- HTTP server
To install Oracle VM Server from a CDROM, see Section 2, 'Installing Oracle VM Server From a CDROM'.

4Upgrading Oracle VM Server
This section discusses upgrading Oracle VM Server from a previous installation.
Oracle VM Manager is backwardly compatible with previous Oracle VM Server releases. To make sure you are not using a newer version of Oracle VM Server that cannot be managed Oracle VM Manager, you should upgrade Oracle VM Manager to Release 2.2 before you upgrade your Oracle VM Servers to Release 2.2.
If you have multiple Oracle VM Servers in a server pool, first upgrade the Oracle VM Servers which do not function as the Server Pool Master. The last Oracle VM Server in the server pool to be upgraded should be the Server Pool Master.
To upgrade Oracle VM Server:

This document is intended for system administrators who want to install Oracle VM Server. This document discusses downloading and installing Oracle VM Server. It contains:
2.1 Preinstallation Tasks and Requirements
Before you start the Oracle VM Server installation, make sure your computer meets the minimum hardware and software requirements. This section contains:
2.1.1Hardware Requirements
This release of Oracle VM Server supports x86_64 host hardware only. Oracle VM Server requires a 64-bit processor.
For hardware virtualized (unmodified) guest operating systems (for example, Microsoft Windows), a CPU with hardware virtualization support is required. This feature may also need to be enabled in the BIOS. Please refer to your processor documentation for information on whether your processor supports hardware virtualization and how to enable it in the BIOS.
A dual core CPU or multiple CPUs are recommended to run multiple guests.
The minimum memory requirement is 1GB RAM, although it is recommended you have a computer with at least 2GB RAM. Guest memory requirements vary for each guest operating system. You should perform your own memory sizing for guest operating systems.
2.1.2Software Requirements
There are no prerequisite software requirements. Oracle VM Server includes a small Linux-based management operating system. All previous operating systems and data are lost during the installation of Oracle VM Server.
Migration from any operating system, or previous virtualization environment, is not supported in this release.
2.1.3 Network Requirements
It is recommended that you install Oracle VM Server on a machine with a static IP address. If your machines use DHCP, you should configure your DHCP server to assign static DHCP addresses. This makes sure your host always receives the same IP address. The behavior of the Oracle VM Server host is undefined if used in an environment where your IP address may change due to DHCP lease expiry.
If you use DHCP, you may also encounter problems with the default gateway. Linux systems set the default gateway using the route provided by the DHCP server, regardless of the setting in the computer running Oracle VM Server. This may not be the default route you want. If you use DHCP, you should configure the DHCP server to not provide the default gateway for the machines running Oracle VM Server.
2.1.4 Oracle VM Server Memory Settings
Oracle recommends you to leave the dom0 memory to the value by default. It is set by default as 502 + 0.0205 * physical-memory (in MB) during the installation.
2.1.5 Getting the Software
If you do not already have the Oracle VM Server software, download the Oracle VM Server ISO file from the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud:

2.4 Changing the Dom0 Memory Size
When you install Oracle VM Server, the installer sets a default memory size for Dom0. The algorithm used is:
Oracle Vm Server Iso Download Windows 7
dom0_mem = 502 + int(physical_mem * 0.0205)
Example sizes are set out in table Table 2-1.
Table 2-1 Default Dom0 Memory Size
Physical Memory | Dom0 Memory |
---|---|
2 GB | 543 MB |
4 GB | 585 MB |
8 GB | 669 MB |
16 GB | 837 MB |
32 GB | 1173 MB |
64 GB | 1845 MB |
128 GB | 3188 MB |
256 GB | 5875 MB |
512 GB | 11249 MB |
1024 GB | 21997 MB |
2048 GB | 43493 MB |
You may encounter performance issues if the dom0 memory size is not set appropriately for your needs on the Oracle VM Server. For example, you may encounter performance issues when running more than 10 virtual machines on an Oracle VM Server.
To change the Dom0 memory allocation, edit the /boot/grub/grub.conf file on the Oracle VM Server and change the dom0_mem parameter, for example, to change the memory allocation to 1024 MB, edit the file to be:
