When
-driverdomain
is specified, the cloned virtual machine is configured with the
driver domain. The corresponding virtual machine configuration file,
vm.cfg
, has the
following disk entries:
disk = [u'file:/OVS/Repositories/repo5/.ACFS/snaps/vm10/
VirtualMachines/
vm10/System.img,xvda,w',
u'file:/u01/app/sharedrepo/repo5/.ACFS/snaps/
vm10/VirtualMachines/vm10/u01.img,xvdb,w,oakDom1']
All disks, with the exception of the
xvda
boot disk, have the path from
oakDom1
, that is
odabase
.
The following guest operating systems are supported for driver domain virtual
machines:
•
Oracle Linux with the latest Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel 2 (UEK2) or
Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel 3 (UEK3).
•
Microsoft Windows with Oracle VM Windows PV Driver 3.4.1. Oracle VM Windows
PV Driver 3.4.1 release is available for download on My Oracle Support as patch
number 23346086.
•
Oracle Solaris 11.3 or higher x86.
Creating a Driver Domain Virtual Machine from a Template
Create a driver domain virtual machine from a virtual machine template.
Several options are available to create, or import, a template that you will use to create
the clone. Determine the virtual machine template you want, the method to import the
template, and the naming convention for the template.
This example imports a virtual machine template from
Dom0
and uses the template to
create a driver domain virtual machine. The virtual machine image is named
myol6u_test myol6u_ ol5u7_vm_alpha
from the virtual machine template named
myol6u_15gb1 (OL5U7)
, which is stored in the shared repository named
repo2
(odarepo1)
on Node 0 in driver domain mode.
1.
Use the
oakcli import vmtemplate
command to import a virtual machine
template and name the template.
For example, import virtual machine template
OVM_OL5U7_X86_64_PVM_10GB.tgz
from the
/OVS
directory in
Dom0
into the
odarepo1
shared repository on Node 0 in
driver domain mode and name the template file
OL5U7
.
oakcli import vmtemplate OL5U7 -files /OVS/
OVM_OL5U7_X86_64_PVM_10GB.tgz -repo odarepo1
2.
Use the
oakcli clone vm
command to create a clone that uses the driver
domain.
For example, create a virtual machine image named
vm1_ol5u7
from the virtual
machine template named
OL5U7
, which is stored in the shared repository named
odarepo1
on Node 0:
