Introduction to Oracle VM Technology
5
Oracle VM Server: Xen Hypervisor,
management domain dom0 Linux
kernel with support of devices,
IO, networking, etc.
VM: guest OS with applications
running on domU
Server partition: multiple guest
VMs run independently on a VM
server
Virtual CPUs and Virtual Memory
are signed for each guest VM
All network and storage IOs of
guest VMs go through Dom0
VM Server Pool: an autonomous
region of VM servers.
VM Servers in a VM server pool share Pool: an autonomous
storage to provide high availability.
VM can be failed or live migrated to
other VM server of the same VM server pool.

Management: VM Manager and Enterprise Manager

Oracle VM3.o released in August, 2011.
New Oracle VM Manager provides centralized management
Scalability: up to 160 physical CPUs, 2 TB of memory
128 virtual CPUs and 1TB memory per guest VM
Application Driven Virtualization: VM template based
applications deployment

VM Server Pool and VM Repository
HA enabled in server pool and VM level
Fail over and live migration of VM to other VM server.
All the VM servers in the VM server pool share storage
Shared storage: based on OCFS2/NFS-based for VM Repository.
VM Repository (OVM2.x): root: /OVS/
running_pool: all VM images
seed_pool: all the VM templates
shared_disks: for virtual storage
VM Repository (OVM 3.x): root:/OVS/Repisitries/XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
virtualMachines: all virtual machines
templates: see all the VM templates
virtualDisks: for virtual disks storage
Assemblies: VM Assemblies
Guest VM creation
Paravirtualization and Hard Virtualization
Create VM from a VM template using VM manager
Create VM from an install tree using virt-install

Virtualizing Oracle EBS with Oracle VM
8
Benefits of Virtualizing Oracle EBS with Oracle VM
Server partitions and consolidation
High availability and scalability
Deployment standardization
Fast deployment
Dramatically reduced cloning time
Certification of Oracle E-Business Suite on Oracle VM:
Oracle EBS is certified to run on Oracle VM 2 and VM 3.0.2 & later :

Oracle VM Templates for Oracle E-Business Suite
Oracle VM Template Concept
Consists of two virtual machines: EBS apps tier and EBS DB tier
Downloadable template for Oracle EBS 12.1.1: Visions
VM template for Database tier VM: Vision demo DB
VM template for applications tier VM: Vision Demo instance
Oracle E-Business Virtualization Toolkit:
What is virtualization toolkits ? Why do we need it?
The components of the virtualization toolkit: patch 9207542
ebiz_1211_reconfig.sh , ebiz_1211_cleanup.sh

How to leverage Oracle VM for Oracle EBS Environment
Need to establish Oracle EBS environment on VMs
But how? the process to create VMs and VM templates?
Fresh Install EBS on VMs , then build the template
Use the Oracle EBS template from Oracle
Migrate Oracle EBS from physical to virtual
Process of Migrating Oracle EBS to Virtual environment
Streamline process ,no fresh installation needed
Preserve all the business data/logic, setups and
customization
Migrating the existing EBS instance to virtual environment
After the migration, we can:
Create new EBS templates based on the migrated VMs
Create new EBS instances using on the VM templates
New way to deploy new EBS instance

Global Marketing
11

Leverage Oracle E-Business Suite Template from Oracle
Oracle EBS VMs created from the template:
Include OS configuration for Oracle EBS (APPS and DB)
Include Oracle E-Business Visualization Toolkit
but it has not business data and customization and setups
Combine EBS VM templates with Clone of EBS on physical system
VMs configuration + EBS VM toolkit from VM templates
Business data, customization and setups from physical system

Global Marketing
12
Migration Process Design:
Starting with downloaded Oracle EBS VIS VM Templates
Build Oracle EBS VMs from the EBS VIS VM templates
Replaced APPS and DB with the cloned copy from physical system
Reconfigure and forms Oracle EBS DEV Instance VMs
Create the new DEV VM template
Create new EBS VMs from the DEV VM template

Global Marketing
POC Project Infrastructure
13
Joint POC Project between Dell Solution Engineering and IT
Develop a solution to migrate EBS from physical to VM
Establish the VM template based EBS Instance deployment
for on-going Oracle EBS implementation project

POC servers and shared storage infrastructure
Physical Environment: Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1.1 x86-64 bit
APPs tier: Dell PE 2950 running Oracle Enterprise Linux 5U3
Database Tier: Dell PE 6950, Oracle Enterprise Linux 5U
Virtual Infrastructure:
Oracle VM servers: 2 x Dell PowerEdge R810
Shared SAN storage: Dell EqualLogic PS6510 Storage ,
allocated 2TB for VM repository
VM Manager: 1 Dell PE2950 running VM Manager
