Creating an Image for a New Virtual Machine
Use the
oakcli clone vm
command to create an image for a new virtual machine on
Oracle Database Appliance Virtualized Platform.
By default, the image inherits the content and configuration information from the
template or from the virtual machine that you are cloning and resides in the same
repository as the source. Unless you are using local repositories for your virtual
machines, include the
-node
clause in the
oakcli clone
command to identify the node
that should run the cloning process. To create a snap clone, which will only contain the
configuration metadata, include the
-snap
clause in the
oakcli clone
command.
Setting Up a Virtual Machine for Access from eth0 Using an IP
Address
Configure a network device (
eth0
) with an IP address for a virtual machine.
The following set of commands configures the virtual machine
vmol6u3
(which has
ovmd
) with the IP address
192.168.16.51
for the
eth0
interface and sets the
root
password.
oakcli clone vm vmol6u3 -vmtemplate ol6u3 -repo shrepo -node 0
oakcli modify vm vmol6u3 -addnetwork priv1
oakcli start vm vmol6u3
oakcli modify vm vmol6u3 -s 'com.oracle.linux.network.device.0:eth0'
oakcli modify vm vmol6u3 -s 'com.oracle.linux.network.onboot.0:yes'
oakcli modify vm vmol6u3 -s 'com.oracle.linux.network.bootproto.0:static'
oakcli modify vm vmol6u3 -s 'com.oracle.linux.network.ipaddr.
0:192.168.16.51'
oakcli modify vm vmol6u3 -s 'com.oracle.linux.network.netmask.
0:255.255.255.0'
oakcli modify vm vmol6u3 -s 'com.oracle.linux.root-password:password'
Adding or Removing a Virtual Disk to or from a Virtual Machine
Use the
oakcli modify vm
command to add or remove a virtual disk (vdisk) from a
virtual machine.
Do not use the -
attachvdisk
or the
-detachvdisk
option with the
-addnetwork
,
-
deletenetwork
, or
-s
key:value pair parameters.
•
To attach a virtual disk to a virtual machine, use the
oakcli modify vm vm_name
command with the
-attachvdisk
clause that names the virtual disk.
oakcli modify vm vm_name -attachvdisk vdisk_name
•
To detach a virtual disk from a virtual machine, use the
oakcli modify vm
vm_name
command with the
-detachvdisk
clause that names the virtual disk.
oakcli modify vm vm_name -detachvdisk vdisk_name
