Configured VM : oevm1. The settings will take effect upon the next restart of this VM.

oakcli start vm oevm1
Started VM : oevm1
At this moment, the new VM doesn't have an IP address, so you have to open the VM console by executing
oakcli show vmconsole oevm1
(this requires the graphical environment to be configured and the DISPLAY setting
correctly pointing to a running virtual desktop) for the new VM to complete the initial configuration. Listing 11-8
shows the configuration values provided to the wizard. Be careful choosing the system host name, because e-Business
Suite R12.2 does not support
<Oracle SID>_<hostname>

values longer than 22 characters.

The VM templates starting with Oracle Linux 6 update 4 have been built using the minimal installation of the
operational system, which means you have to install quite a number of RPMs to meet the requirements of e-Business
Suite. The VM template has been preconfigured with the public yum repository and I found it very beneficial to allow
the Internet connectivity from the ODA, at least during the setup phase, to speed up and simplify the configuration
of the VM.
My Oracle Support note “Oracle E-Business Suite Installation and Upgrade Notes Release 12 (12.2) for Linux
x86-64 (Doc ID 1330701.1)” contains an up-to-date list of all requirements for e-Business Suite R12.2, which includes
the list of RPMs and the library patches; make sure to install them all. Additionally, you might consider upgrading
the VM to the latest OL6 level and install the 11gR2 preinstall package because it delivers most of the required RPMs
and settings; moreover, as you'll use the NFS-mounted ACFS volume, you'll need some NFS-related RPMs too. See
Listing 11-9 for the additional RPMs I installed and for the commands I ran to start the NFS services and disable the
firewall.
