About Managing Virtual Machines on Oracle Database Appliance
Virtualized Platform
Deploy virtual machines on Oracle Database Appliance Virtualized Platform to run
other workloads that are independent of databases running in ODA_BASE
Use OAKCLI commands to create and manage virtual machines, including starting
and stopping them, and opening consoles for graphical user interface (GUI) access.
Note:
You can use a Virtual Network Computing (VNC) session to open a GUI
console for a virtual machine.
You can reconfigure an active virtual machine. However, your changes do not take
effect until you stop and restart the virtual machine. You can display high-level
information about all of your virtual machines, or display detailed information about the
configuration of single virtual machines. When you no longer have use for a particular
virtual machine, delete the virtual machine to regain storage.
Note:
Do not modify the default settings for the following parameters in the guest
virtual machine:
•
xen_blkfront.max: Max Indirect Descriptors, default 32
•
xen_blkback.max_ring_page_order: Shared Ring Page Order, default 0
Listing the Virtual Machines in Your Repositories
Use the
oakcli show vm
command to display details for all of your existing virtual
machines or to display details of a specific virtual machine.
The command displays the name, the repository, and the current state (online or
offline) for each virtual machine. The output also contains the default number of CPUs
and default amount of memory that Oracle Database Appliance Virtualized Platform
will assign to each virtual machine.
•
Use the
oakcli show vm
command to display the virtual machine names, memory
and vCPU allocations, status, virtual disks, and repository name for all virtual
machines.
oakcli show vm
