Using Oracle VM with Oracle E-Business Suite Virtualization Kit
[Editor: This the second of a four-part series on virtualization and cloud topics]
As I’ve mentioned in the first article of this series, I do want to delve more deeply into topics from my OOW’09 E-Business Suite Virtualization Update presentation. Before I do that, I wanted to spend some time on our latest EBS 12.1.1 Oracle VM (OVM) Templates.
Rolling Your Own Apps Templates using Oracle VM
In addition to using our templates, customers might want to build their own templates. As most of you know, virtualization platforms like Oracle VM are just that — platforms. They do not help you with anything inside the template, or if they do, it is a starting point template with OS e.g. OVM templates for Oracle Enterprise Linux, or a process/tool to create that OS starting point (JEOS = Just Enough Operating System, pronounce “juice”).
In any case, you proceed with your bare bones template to start a virtual machine (VM), mount your disk, install your E-Business Suite, and save your VM template. The end result is an image of machine with a set host name, IP, E-Business Suite instance. As long as it is self-contained, i.e. both your database and middle tiers are installed and you have no external integration, you are OK, right? It’s not quite that simple, I’m afraid.
