    Installing VMware Linux for Oracle Apps R12 Preparation
    Saturday, March 03, 2007
    Register for R12 upgrade
    In today's post I'll cover on Installing VMware on windows machine after that we will install Linux on windows Virtual Machine. Download VMware from http://www.vmware.com/download/ws and after downloading install it on your windows machine.

    Download linux trail version from edelivery http://edelivery.oracle.com/linux

    Select product as enterprise linux & Platform as x86 32 bit (almost all PC or laptops are 32 bit) ob 64 bit processor you can install both 32 or 64 bit linux but on 32 bit processor you can install only 32 bit software so select 32 bit . You have to download 4 CD's only.

    Installing VMware on windows













    Enter location of VMware Installation













































    This step completes your VMWare Installation on machine. Next lets configure Virtual Machine & later we will install Linux on this Configured Virtual Machine.


    Configuring Virtual Machine



















































    Type any name here , Initially I gave machine name as Machine1 which I later changed to TeachMeOracle.com . You can give any sensible name to your Virtual Machine.















































































    I defined 100 GB for Oracle Apps R12 Installation as I am planning to install fresh database (without Vision data)
    You can choose 200 if you wish to install Vision Instance of Oracle Applications R12. (Make sure you have that much space available on your hard disk)











    This finishes your VMWare Linux configuration , Next step is to Install Linux on this VMware machine which I will cover in next post . In mean time down load 4 CD's Oracle-Linux from location mentioned on top & unzip this 4 disks to create iso files . We will use these iso files to install Linux on this virtual machine.

      bahut vadiya atul veer. You are doing a great job by feeding existing and aspirant dba's with very targeted information. Keep it up bro. Spreading knowledge is equivalent to gaining knowledge. God bless you. This is a noble cause.

      I noticed that the memory setting for the virtual machine is 256mb. Is that enough, or did you have to raise it for Oracle Apps?

      Thanks,
      Brian

       
    • At 9:21 PM, Blogger Atul Kumar said…

      Yes Brian, I changed VM memory settings from 256 to 768 during installation but U can try with 256 initially (DB start might create problem bcoz of low memory)

       
    • At 5:05 AM, Blogger Venkata Sathish Kadiyala said…

      Hi atul
      1st i installed windows then i installed linux
      then i installed VM ware workstation 6 and i allocated 180 gb for VM ..but its not running..
      i am getting error message

      pxe-e51:no dhcp or proxyDHCP offers were received

      pxe mof:existing intel pxe rom

      :operating system not found

       
    • At 9:10 AM, Blogger Atul Kumar said…

      Hi Kadiyala,
      Did you make system dual boot ? (first windows and then linux)
      You don't have to do that.

      First install vMWare server on your windows O.S. in that VMware install linux (which is going to be a virtual machine).

      This error message which you are getting is coming on starting VMware or linux virtual machine inside VMware

      hi and thanks for this post
      but i really want to ask if you completed this task with 265 MB of RAM
      and a 100GB file
      I am intending to install a vision
      instance on Linux Unbreakable using vmware on my XP laptop to make a portable training environment but i have 2 question
      1) does 2GB RAM and 1.7GHZ Processor acceptable
      2) should i configure a single VM disk of 120GB instead of configuring 6 disks of 20GB and use
      LVM
      i allocate my files on a 160GB usb
      hard disk
      thanks in advance,

       
    • At 1:41 PM, Blogger Atul Kumar said…

      Mohamed,
      Fresh Database (No Vision) took 11 hours with 256 MB RAM where as with vision instance I stopped after around 14 hours as by that time it finished just 85% and I/O wait increased to 82-89% during appl_top unzip files in final phase.
      However I managed to install Vision with 756 MB ram allocated to this virtaul machine.

       
    • At 4:46 PM, Blogger Root said…

      thanks atule for response
      as I was planning to assign 1.5GB RAM for the VM machine but last thing i want to here your comment about is
      to assign a single disk with the hole 120GB or 6 with 20GB disks and implement a LVM with Linux

       
    • At 7:13 PM, Blogger Atul Kumar said…

      6 disks of 20 GB each

    • At 9:09 AM, Blogger Atul Kumar said…

      Make sure your default gateway and subnetmask matches with one supplied by ISP try putting same IP Subnet mask and gateway (on network card of virtuallinux machine) of computer where internet is working

      Atul ,
      I have a laptop with window xp professional and T7200 @2.00GHz and 2GB of RAM. Is it possible to install oracle apps on this configuration machine after Installing vmware linux for Oracle Apps R12 Preparation. How much additional space does installing of Oracle AppsR12 will take.
      Also this site give very good information with step by step instruction for installing VMWare linux for Oracle Apps. Is there a similar information for installing Oracle Apps R12

      http://onlineappsdba.com/index.php/2007/03/03/installing-vmware-linux-for-oracle-apps-r12-preparation/


      Change network card on two virtual machine such that both have same subnet mask but different IP and then you can ping two machine. Check networking doc of each o.s. on how to do so

      Hi
      I am trying to instal Linux AS 4
      using VMWARE I did all the steps mentioned in the site.
      I am getting err like "Kernal panic - not syncing:VFS:unable to mount root FS on unknown block(104,3)"
      I am doing this in my laptop having OS as vista.What might be the issue and the solution for that.

      Hi Atul,
      thanks for the document, i was able to install linux on vmware but its not detecting external harddrive and pendrives, i have checked with settings it says 'allow all removable devices' when i tried to add a usb device in vmachine settings -->add usb .it says "USB is not supported on ESX Server virtual machines

       
    • At 6:02 AM, Blogger Unknown said…

      Atul you are doing awesome job. I don't know if it is easily possible, but I am a developer (not a dba) and want to have my own oracle apps instance. Would you have an 11i instance for vmware server that I could load easily? Please email me if that is possible.

      much thanks
