Practice 1-1: Become Familiar with the Hosts and Networks in Your
Lab Environment
Overview
For the practices of this lesson, you are assigned a lab machine on which you perform all your
lab exercises. Your lab machine has been set up to support your entire Oracle VM environment.
In this practice, you locate the major elements that are used for all the lab practices in this
course:
Your lab machine
The hosts available on your lab machine to build your Oracle VM environment
The networks that link your lab machine and the hosts in your environment
Assumptions
e to
The tasks in this practice assume that the hosts in your lab environment are deployed as virtualns
machines. If your lab environment is composed of physical hosts, some information may lice
change.

1. Your lab machine is a server, which you access directly (in the classroom) or remotely.
2. Your environment contains three hosts running as virtual machines on your lab machine.
You build your Oracle VM environment with these three hosts:
ovsvr01.example.com is the host name of your first Oracle VM Server.
The host is already installed and running as an Oracle VM Server.
The IP address is 192.0.2.101.
ovsvr02.example.com is the host name of your second Oracle VM Server.
Chapter 1 - Page 3
The virtual machine for this host does not have any guest OS installed in it. You
install Oracle VM Server in this host as a practice in the next lesson titled Planning
and Installation.
The IP address reserved for this host is 192.0.2.102.
ovmmgr.example.com is the host name for your Oracle VM Manager machine.
The virtual machine has Oracle Linux 5 Update 6 installed as the guest OS.
You install the Oracle VM Manager software on this host as a practice in the next
lesson titled Planning and Installation.
The IP address for this host is 192.0.2.103.
You access these three hosts from your lab machine.
3. Your environment contains several networks:
Classroom network: This network allows your lab machine to communicate with the
outside. This network is not used by your Oracle VM environment. e to
Management network: This network allows your three virtual hosts to communicate
cens
l i
with your lab machine. It also allows the hosts to communicate with each other.

The first host is assigned the IP address 192.168.1.101 (first Oracle VM Server).
The second host is assigned the IP address 192.168.1.102 (second Oracle VM
Server).
The host acting as the Oracle VM Manager is not participating in this network.
Heartbeat network: This network allows the two Oracle VM Servers deployed as part of
your Oracle VM environment to communicate with each other, for the heartbeat
function of your Oracle VM server pool.
192.168.2.1.
The first host is assigned the IP address 192.168.2.101 (first Oracle VM Server).
The second host is assigned the IP address 192.168.2.102 (second Oracle VM
Server).
Chapter 1 - Page 4
VLAN traffic network: This allows the two Oracle VM Servers deployed from your
Oracle VM environment to support VLAN traffic on a single Ethernet port.
192.168.3.1.
The first host is assigned 192.168.3.101 (first Oracle VM Server).
The second host is assigned 192.168.3.102 (second Oracle VM Server).

Your lab machine has been set up to support the networks described above. You create
and configure the networks needed for your Oracle VM environment in the practices for the
lesson titled Managing Servers and Networks.
Note: Your lab machine uses bridges to implement the networking infrastructure needed for
your Oracle VM environment. A bridge acts as a virtual switch to connect virtual machines.
e to
Bridges are discussed in the lesson titled Managing Servers and Networks.

Practice 1-2: Access Your Lab Machine and Switch to the root User
Overview
In this practice, you access your lab machine and open a terminal window.
If you are accessing your lab machine locally, you are already logged in to your
GNOME session.
If you are accessing your lab machine remotely, you need a connection program to
access your lab machine. The NX (NoMachine) client is the preferred way to access
your lab machine remotely. Information about the NX client is provided in Appendix A.
After accessing your lab machine, you open a terminal window, and you switch to the root
user.
Tasks

Practice 1-3: Access a Running Host with an Active Network Interface
Overview
In this practice, you access ovsvr01.example.com (your first Oracle VM Server), which is
already installed and active. You use the ssh command to access this host.
Note: At the start of your lab practices, the three virtual hosts on your lab machine should be in
the running state, and you should be able to access ovsvr01.example.com and
ovmmgr.example.com by using the ssh command. If one of your virtual hosts is not running,
refer to Appendix B for information about how to list the status of your virtual machines and how
to start a virtual host by using the xm command.

Practice 1-4: Access a Running Host with the vncviewer Command
Overview
In this practice, you access a virtual host by using the vncviewer command.
If a virtual host is running, but does not have an active network interface, you cannot use the
ssh command to access this host. In this situation, use the vncviewer command.
Note: In a practice for the next lesson titled Planning and Installation, you use vncviewer to
access the host ovsvr02.example.com to install Oracle VM Server in that host.
Tasks
1. Determine the VNC port to access the host ovsvr01.example.com by using the xm

Appendix B: Listing, Starting, and Stopping Virtual Machines with the
xm Command
Overview
You use the information in this appendix if you have to manipulate your virtual machines with
the xm command.
Warning: Generally, there is no need to start or stop virtual machines with the xm command.
You use the information in this appendix only if one of your virtual machines is not running when
you access your lab environment.
Your lab environment supports three hosts as virtual machines. The information for these virtual
machines is summarized in the following table:
Host Virtual Machine Name Host Name for Guest running in Virtual Machine

Note: Your output for the xm list command will not exactly match the output shown in
the example above. This is normal. The ID (Domain ID) may be different, as well as the
State or Time(s) information.
Normally, there should be four virtual machines running:
Chapter 1 - Page 20
ovsvr01, your first Oracle VM Server
ovsvr02, your second Oracle VM Server
ovmmgr, your Oracle VM Manager
Domain-0, which represents your lab machine, running as the privileged domain
If a host is not listed, this means that this virtual machine is not running. Use the xm
create command described in the next step to start a virtual machine.

2. If you need to start one of your virtual machines, use the xm create command.
Warning: Do not start virtual machines with the xm command except if one of your virtual
machines is not running.
The xm create command requires the name of the configuration file for the virtual
machine as a parameter.
The following example starts the ovsvr02 virtual machine.
e to
a. To start the ovsvr02 virtual machine, locate the virtual machines configuration file in
cens
the /OVS/running_pool/<VM name> directory, where VM name is ovsvr02: l i
b le

[root@<your lab machine> ~]# cd /OVS/running_pool/ovsvr02

start the ovmmgr virtual machine, change directory to /OVS/running_pool/ovmmgr,
and issue the xm create vm.cfg command from this location.
d. Use the xm list command to verify that your virtual machine started successfully:
[root@<your lab machine> ~]# xm list

ovsvr02 38 1024 2 -b---- 78.0
3. If you need to shut down or restart a virtual machine, use the xm command with the
shutdown or reboot option.
a. The following is an example of using xm shutdown <VM name> to shut down a
virtual machine:
Chapter 1 - Page 21
[root@<your lab machine> ~]# xm shutdown ovsvr01
The virtual machine will continue to appear in the output of the xm list command
until it is completely shut down.
b. The following is an example of using xm reboot <VM name> to restart a virtual
machine:
[root@<your lab machine> ~]# xm reboot ovsvr01

The virtual machine will reappear in the output of the xm list command, with a new
Domain ID.

Practice 2-2: Install Oracle VM Server in the Second Server,
ovsvr02.example.com
Overview
In this practice, you install Oracle VM Server in the second host that has been created for this
purpose.
Assumptions
This practice requires a host to serve as the second Oracle VM Server. This host can be a
virtual machine that has been created for this purpose, or it can be a physical server available in
your lab environment.
This host, whether a virtual or a physical host, must have access to the installation media which
contains the Oracle VM Server software.
The examples in this practice assume that the second Oracle VM Server is installed in a virtual e to
machine called ovsvr02.

Practice 2-4: Install Oracle VM Manager on ovmmgr.example.com
Overview
In this practice, you install Oracle VM Manager on the ovmmgr virtual host.
Assumptions
This practice assumes that the Oracle VM Manager software is available in the /stage
directory on the host where Oracle VM Manager is to be installed.
You install the Oracle VM Manager software and, as part of the installation, you assign an
existing UUID to the Oracle VM Manager. This is done because there is a repository already
created on an NFS share, and you rediscover this repository in a later practice. The UUID in the
metadata of this repository must match the Oracle VM Managers UUID for the rediscover
repository operation to succeed.

Practice 2-5: Perform Post-installation Verification
Overview
In this practice, you look at the installation log, note the UUID assigned to the Oracle VM
Manager, and check the status of the ovmm service.
Assumptions
This practice assumes that the installation of Oracle VM Manager completed successfully.
Tasks
1. From a terminal window on your lab machine, log in to ovmmgr.example.com by using
the ssh -X command:
Note: The X (capital letter) parameter for ssh enables X11 forwarding. With this
e to
parameter, you can run the gedit command from ovmmgr.example.com.

In the installation log file, find the following elements:
Check for memory size.
Check for oracle user and group.
Check for hardnofiles and softnofiles for oracle.
Check for /u01.

Note that the UUID of your Oracle VM Manager is listed in the log file.
d. Execute the grep command against the log file using the UUID string to display the
UUID that was used during installation. Your log file will have a different name from the
name used in the following example:

[root@ovmmgr tmp]# grep UUID install-2012-01-27-170434.log

Practice 2-6: Prepare the Oracle VM Manager Host for Console Access
to Virtual Machines
Overview
In this practice, you prepare your Oracle VM Manager host to allow access to the console of
virtual machines deployed in your Oracle VM environment.

The virtual machine console feature uses the client instance of a VNC viewer, if one exists, to
connect to a virtual machine's console. For example, if you access Oracle VM Manager from
your laptop, and you launch the console for a virtual machine, the VNC viewer on your laptop is
used for connecting to the console. If a VNC viewer is not found on your client computer, a
request is sent to the Oracle VM Manager host to display the VNC viewer. Oracle VM Manager
uses the TightVNC Java viewer program to respond to requests for console connections.
Assumptions
e to
This step assumes that the TightVNC Java viewer package is available in the /stage directory
cens
l i
on the Oracle VM Manager host, ovmmgr.example.com.

Practice 3-2: Create the Virtual Machine Network
Overview
In this practice, you create a network for virtual machine traffic. This network has access to a
DHCP server running on your lab machine. The DHCP server assigns IP addresses for the
virtual machines deployed on this network. This network is dedicated to virtual machine traffic,
and therefore, you specify only the Virtual Machine function when creating the network.
Assumptions
This practice assumes that the Oracle VM Servers have port(2) available. Port(1) was
used for the server management network, created automatically when you discovered your
Oracle VM Servers.
Tasks

Practice 3-3: Create a Cluster Heartbeat Network
Overview
In this practice, you create a separate Cluster Heartbeat network. The cluster heartbeat function
is currently part of the management network. After you create a separate network for the cluster
heartbeat, you remove the cluster heartbeat function from the management network.
Note: If you intend to create a separate network for the heartbeat network, it is advisable to
create this network before creating your Oracle VM server pools.
Assumptions
This practice assumes that there is a free network interface card to create the heartbeat
network. In your lab environment, the third port, eth2 or port(3) on each Oracle VM Server,
is used to create the new network with the heartbeat function.

Practice 3-5: Create a network with VLAN support
Overview
In this practice, you create a network with VLAN support. First, you create a VLAN group, and
then use a VLAN segment from this VLAN Group to create the network.
With the VLAN support in Oracle VM, you can direct traffic from several VLAN segments onto a
single port or bond on your Oracle VM Servers.
Creating a VLAN Group: A VLAN Group contains a single port or bond from each
Oracle VM Server participating in the VLAN Group. You then specify which VLAN
traffic can use this VLAN Group, by adding VLAN IDs to the VLAN Group. VLAN IDs
range from 2 through 4094, with VLAN ID 1 representing an untagged VLAN segment.
Creating a network supporting VLAN traffic: After creating your VLAN Group, you can
use it to create a network with VLAN support. Simply specify a VLAN segment from a
VLAN Group when creating the network. e to

Note: The NFS share that will become a repository is 20% full. The share already
contains a repository and will be rediscovered by using the Oracle VM Manager. For
the rediscover operation to succeed, the current Oracle VM Manager was installed
using the same UUID that was assigned to the Oracle VM Manager instance that
created and populated the NFS repository.

Practice 4-4: Register the iSCSI Generic Storage Array
Overview
In this practice, you register your lab machine as an iSCSI storage array. This is considered a
generic storage array because it does not use a Storage Connect vendor plug-in. It uses the
standard generic SCSI plug-in, which is already available in each installed Oracle VM Server.
Tasks
1. Prepare to register the iSCSI storage array.
a. Access the Oracle VM Manager UI.

Note
The physical disk reappeared because the previous delete operation did not destroy
the physical disk on the array. It just removed it from the Oracle VM list of accessible
physical disks on the generic iSCSI storage array. The refresh operation on the generic
iSCSI storage array restored access to the physical disk.
This situation would not occur when dealing with a storage array managed by a vendor
plug-in, because a vendor plug-in provides management access to the storage array.
When using a vendor-plug-in, the delete operation results in the destruction of the
physical disk.
5. Clone a physical disk.
Note: All physical disks are empty and though cloning is already allowed at this point, a

Practices for Lesson 5: Server Pools and Repositories

Chapter 5 - Page 1
Practices Overview
In these practices, you create an Oracle VM server pool and repositories by using the Oracle
VM Manager.
The following points summarize the rules for creating repositories:

NFS repositories can be created or rediscovered even if no server pool has yet been
created.
Creating repositories on an iSCSI or Fibre Channel physical disk (LUN) requires an
existing clustered server pool.
Repositories can also be created on local storage. Unused internal disks in the Oracle
VM Server are available as local storage.
You can create a repository on local storage for clustered or nonclustered server pools.
e to
The practices follow this sequence:
cens
l i
1. Refresh the rediscovered NFS repository.
b le
2. Create a clustered server pool.
s f era
3. Create an iSCSI repository.
tr an
4. Import resources into the repositories.

5. Perform disk and cloning operations for resources in the repositories.

Practice 5-1: Refresh the Rediscovered NFS Repository
Overview
In this practice, you refresh the NFS repository that you rediscovered in an earlier practice.
Assumptions
This practice assumes that the NFS share has an existing repository on it. Recall that the NFS
share was configured as part of the registration process for the NFS server on your lab
machine, and that, as part of the registration process, you rediscovered the existing repository
on the NFS share.
The existing repository contains metadata that includes the UUID of the Oracle VM Manager
that was used to create it. This is why you used a specific UUID parameter when you installed
the Oracle VM Manager in the practices for the lesson titled Planning and Installation. The
UUID in the repository metadata on the NFS share must match the UUID of your current Oracle
e to
VM Manager, or you cannot reclaim this repository.

Note: If your NFS repository does not show up in the list of existing repositories, it is
because you did not select the NFS share in step 5 for Practice 4-2. You can
rediscover the NFS repository now by performing the following steps:
i. In the Home view, click the Server Pools folder in the navigation pane.
ii. In the right pane (management pane), click the Repositories tab.
iii. Click the Discover Existing Repository icon on the Repositories toolbar.
iv. In the Discover Repository window, click the Search icon.
v. In the Search window, select nfs_server for File Server: The NFS share
should appear. Select this share and click OK.
vi. Back in the Discover Repository window, click OK to trigger the rediscover
operation.
The repository should now appear on the Repositories tab.
2. Present the repository to the Oracle VM Servers.


Chapter 5 - Page 4
In order to perform any operation on a repository, you must have presented it to at least
one Oracle VM Server with access to the repository. In this step, you present the NFS
repository to both your Oracle VM Servers.

Practice 5-4: Import Resources into the Repositories
Overview
In this practice, you import a template into the new iSCSI repository. The template contains the
files for a virtual machine that was built by using the Oracle Linux JeOS (Just Enough OS), with
Oracle Linux Release 5 Update 3.
A template built with JeOS contains the minimum set of packages for a functional operating
system. The JeOS template is then customized by adding the packages and services needed to
run a particular application.
Note: Virtual machines built by using JeOS are used with Oracle Virtual Assembly Builder to
accelerate the deployment of virtual, multi-tier environment. More information about Oracle
Virtual Assembly Builder is available at
http://www.oracle.com/us/products/middleware/application-server/virtual-assembly-builder-

Practice 5-6: Create a Repository on Local Storage
Overview
In this practice, you create a new repository on the second disk for Oracle VM Server
ovsvr01.example.com.
The second disk on ovsvr01.example.com is treated as local storage.

You can create a repository on local storage, but resources you add to this repository cannot be
shared with the other Oracle VM Servers in the server pool. Therefore, the benefits of
repositories on local storage are limited, except for the case of a server pool with a single
Oracle VM Server. In this case, you can create the server pool as nonclustered. A nonclustered
pool does not require a server pool file system. After creating a nonclustered server pool, you
add the Oracle VM Server to the server pool and use a free disk on the server to create a
repository. The disk you select should not have any partitions defined on it.

Practices for Lesson 6: Managing Virtual Machines

Chapter 6 - Page 1
Practices Overview
In these practices, you create and manage virtual machines.
First, you prepare your environment for creating virtual machines.
Next, you create the pvm1 virtual machine and install Oracle Linux as a guest OS. Recall that
you created two virtual disks called pvm1_disk1 and pvm1_disk2 in an earlier practice. You
use these two disks to create pvm1.
The second technique for creating virtual machines is to use a template. Recall that you
imported the EL53_i386_xVM_jeos.tgz template in a practice for the lesson titled Server
Pools and Repositories. You use this template to create several new virtual machines, either
directly or using a cloning definition.
Finally, you explore several features of Oracle VM: Maintenance Mode for Oracle VM Servers,
e to
Live Migration, High Availability (HA), and Anti-Affinity.

Practice 6-1: Create Virtual NICs for Your Future Virtual Machines
Overview
In this practice, you generate 20 virtual network interfaces (VNICs) for use with your future
virtual machines.
You use the Vnic Manager to create VNICs, which are then assigned to virtual machines. From
the Vnic Manager, you provide VNICs by creating a range of MAC addresses.
The VNICs must be created before creating your virtual machines.
Tasks
1. Access the Virtual NIC Manager, called Vnic Manager.
Note: The Vnic Manager tool can be accessed from any view.
a. From any view, click the Tools menu in the main menu bar, and select Vnic Manager:

7. From your lab machine, mount the ISO file as an exploded file. This exploded file is used in
a later practice to install the OS in a virtual machine.
Note: An exploded ISO file means that the files and directories in the ISO file are directly
accessible.
a. Change user to root.
b. Create the iso directory in the HTTP server default directory, /var/www/html. This
directory is used in the next step to mount the ISO file:
[root@<your lab machine>~]# cd /var/www/html
[root@<your lab machine> html]# pwd
/var/www/html
[root@<your lab machine> html]# mkdir iso
[root@<your lab machine> html]# ls

[root@<your lab machine> html]# mount -o loop,ro Enterprise-R5-
U6-Server-x86_64-dvd.iso /var/www/html/iso
[root@<your lab machine> html]#
Note: Mounting the ISO file as a loop device enables you to access the contents of the
ISO file.

L
ugo
(with a right-click), from a particular server pool, or from an Oracle VM Server within a
H pool. You can also launch the wizard from the Actions entry in the menu bar.
Depending on where you launch the wizard and what item is selected when you launch
it, the Server Pool field is either already filled in, or it presents a drop-down list for the
server pool selection.
To create a virtual machine, the wizard walks you through six windows:
Create Virtual Machine: In this window, you specify parameters for your virtual
machine. This information includes a name, repository, domain type, memory,
and number of virtual processors.
Setup Networks: In this window, you specify virtual NICs and their associated
networks.
Create Storage: In this window, you can choose to create a single virtual disk for
use by your virtual machine. This is an optional step. You can also use virtual
disks that were previously created.
Select Disks and ISOs: In this window, you specify the virtual disks in
repositories, or physical disks in storage arrays that will be used by your virtual
machine for installing the OS and applications.

Chapter 6 - Page 10
Setup Disk Order: In this window, you specify the order in which the disks will be
presented to the OS or installation program in your virtual machine. This
determines the letter associated with the disks, for example, /dev/xvda and
/dev/xvdb.
Boot Options: In this window, you specify the boot device. If you specify CDROM,
booting your virtual machine triggers an installation from an ISO file (HVM virtual
machines only). If you specify DISK, the virtual machine attempts to boot from its
first virtual or physical disk. If you specify Network, your virtual machine attempts
to install from an exploded ISO file available over the network (PVM virtual
machines only).
2. Create the virtual machine as a PVM, or paravirtualized machine.
a. In the Create Virtual Machine window of the wizard, you specify the parameters for
your new virtual machine. Use the information in the following table to enter values in
the window:

using to install Oracle Linux 5 Update 6 into your virtual machine is offered over the
network, and therefore, is not needed in your virtual machines disk configuration. You
can choose to add the ISO file if you want to install additional packages at a later time.

Note: If the firewall is enabled on the Oracle VM Manager, port 15901 must be open in the
firewall. This port allows communication with the secure VNC Proxy, which is involved in
the mechanism to set up console access to virtual machines.
a. From your lab machine, log in to ovmmgr.example.com using the ssh -X command:
Note: The X (capital letter) parameter for ssh enables X11 forwarding. With this
parameter, you can run the gedit command from ovmmgr.example.com.

Practice 6-5: Install Oracle Linux as the Guest OS in the Virtual
Machine
Overview
In this practice, you start the installation of Oracle Linux 5 Update 6 in your virtual machine. This
installation is slow in your lab environment; for this reason, after responding to the prompts of
the installation program, and ensuring that the installation is proceeding normally, you perform a
few operations against your running virtual machine, and then cancel the installation. In later
practices, you create virtual machines using a faster method, with templates and cloning.
The first part of the installation is driven by the Oracle VM Server where the virtual machine is
running. The network boot program prompts for information about the location of the exploded
ISO file on the network.
The second part of the installation is the installation itself, and takes place over the virtual
machine network specified in the virtual machine configuration.
e to
Note: The responses to the various prompts issued during the installation process have been
cens
chosen to fit your lab environment and to minimize configuration. The responses suitable for a l i

production environment will differ from those used in this practice.

Practice 6-6: Clone the EL53_i386_xVM_jeos.tgz Template into a
New Virtual Machine
Overview
Cloning a virtual machine or template enables you to create multiple virtual machines or
templates based on the original. There are two methods of cloning virtual machines:
A simple clone: Sets up the clone with the same configuration information as the
original
An advanced clone: Enables you to create and use a clone definition with differing
configuration from the original
In this practice, you use the EL53_i386_xVM_jeos.tgz template, which you imported in a
practice for the lesson titled Server Pools and Repositories, to clone a new virtual machine,
using the simple clone technique.

Target Server Pool Select Pool1 from the drop-down list.

Chapter 6 - Page 53
Notes
This practice uses Simple Clone, where a virtual machine is created directly from
the template, without the opportunity to make configuration changes to the resulting
virtual machine.
The next practice uses Advanced Clone, where the cloning process creates a
virtual machine (and possibly a template) according to the configuration information
contained in a clone definition.

a. In the Clone Virtual Machine or Template window, enter values in all the fields by
using the information in the table above.

Practice 6-8: Migrate Virtual Machines
Overview
In this practice, you perform the following tasks:
Migrate a running and a nonrunning virtual machine. Migrating a running virtual
machine is called Live Migration.

Put an Oracle VM Server into maintenance mode. You examine how migration is used
as a means to evacuate virtual machines from an Oracle VM Server entering
maintenance mode.
Assumptions
At this point, you should have four virtual machines in your environment. One of these virtual
machines should be in the running state.
e to
ns
Note: If your environment differs from the examples shown in this practice, make your
selections for virtual machines and servers to fit the tasks for your environment. For example, in
l i ce
task 1 below, the running virtual machine is on ovsvr01.example.com. Choose your own

Chapter 6 - Page 91
Practice 6-9: Use the High Availability (HA) Feature
Overview
High availability for virtual machines is available at the Oracle VM Server and the virtual
machine levels:
If an Oracle VM Server is shut down or fails, virtual machines running on that server
that have high-availability enabled will restart on another available Oracle VM Server,
or on the same server when it is restarted.
If a virtual machine fails, it is restarted automatically on the same Oracle VM Server or
possibly on another server.
Note: If you shut down a virtual machine from its guest OS, Oracle VM Manager
restarts the virtual machine automatically, if the virtual machine is enabled for high
availability. If you want to shut down a highly available virtual machine, use the Oracle
VM Manager to shut it down by using the Stop action. e to

In this practice, you perform the following tasks:

Because you cannot restart an Oracle VM Server that has running virtual machines on
it, you must log in to the server and restart it from the command line.

machines on it, you can turn on maintenance mode on the server: The virtual machines
on the server are migrated to other available servers.

You might have different results in your lab environment.

Note: In the case of an Oracle VM Server failure, Oracle VM Manager restarts only the
virtual machines that have high availability enabled. You can migrate and start the
other virtual machines manually.
When you restarted the Oracle VM Server by using the init 6 command, the highly
available virtual machine that was running on that server is now running on the same
server or on the other server.
Oracle VM Manager performs some load balancing when it starts or restarts virtual
machines.

Chapter 6 - Page 99
Where a virtual machine is started or restarted depends on several factors, including
Anti-Affinity and DRS/DPM server policies.
Anti-Affinity is used next.
3. Use the vncviewer program from your lab machine to monitor the boot progress for your
Oracle VM Server. The steps for using vncviewer are described in Practices 1-4.
4. Also monitor the events from the Events tab for the rebooting Oracle VM Server.
When the Oracle VM Server reboots, it is rediscovered by the Oracle VM Manager, as
