Using Oracle pre-built VM for Oracle VM Manager and Server

No need to install from scratch, you can use these 2 prebuilt VMs:

I download and "import appliance" OracleVMManager3.2.4-b524.ova into VirtualBox. Check that you have 4 GB ram and accept EULA.

Could not start the machine Oracle VM Manager 3.2.4-b524 because the following physical network interfaces were not found:
eth0 (adapter 1)
You can either change the machine's network settings or stop the machine.


"change network settings" and use "host only network". Assign static IP 10.0.0.50, netmask 255.255.255.0, gateway 10.0.0.1, DNS server 10.0.0.1, hostname = ovmm.my.company.com (maybe also 192.168.56.1 could do for gateway and dns)

OVM should start.

Open firefox, log into https://localhost:7002/ovm/console with admin/Welcome1

If your screen gets locked, remember that ovm password is Welcome1.

Now you can import appliance OracleVMServer3.2.4-b525.ova in VirtualBox.

Could not start the machine Oracle VM Server 3.2.4-b525 because the following physical network interfaces were not found:
eth0 (adapter 1), eth1 (adapter 2)
You can either change the machine's network settings or stop the machine.


assign "host only" in the vm settings.

Assign static IP 10.0.0.51, netmask 255.255.255.0, gateway 10.0.0.1, DNS server 10.0.0.1, hostname = ovms1.my.company.com

one the OVM Server is up, you can connect from the OVM Manager opening a terminal windowd : ssh root@10.0.0.51 (pw is ovsroot)

In reality one should use IPs in the range 192.168.56.*
