Oracle VM Templates for Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1.3 Production Media Pack for x86 (32 bit)=====================================================================================================

1. Introduction============

The Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1.3 Production (32 bit)templates are two Oracle Virtual Server Guest templates that contain acomplete Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1.3 Installation. TheOracle E-Business Suite system is installed on top of OracleEnterprise Linux Version 5 update 5. The templates contain all therequired elements to demo an Oracle E-Business Suite R12 system to anend user. The intention of this image is to allow users to quicklyfamiliarize themselves with Oracle E-Business Suite, bypassing the OSand the software install (via the Rapid Install).

There are two Oracle E-Business Suite VM templates:- OVM_EL5U5_X86_EBIZ12.1.3_DB_PROD_PVM(Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1.3 Production Database Tier VM Templatefor x86)- OVM_EL5U5_X86_EBIZ12.1.3_APPS_PROD_PVM(Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1.3 Application Tier VM Template for x86)

The templates contain the following software versions:Platform - x86, 32 bitOperating System - Oracle Enterprise Linux Version 5 Update 5Oracle E-Business Suite - 12.1.3 (Database Tier)Oracle E-Business Suite - 12.1.3 (Application Tier)Oracle VM Server 2.1.5 or HigherOracle VM Manager 2.1.5 or Higher

Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1.3 Production Database Tier Install X86 Template Media Pack x86(32 bit) consists of the 3 files which, upon unpacking, create twoabove mentioned two OVM templates.

Database Tier Template files:

OVM_EL5U5_X86_EBIZ12.1.3_DB_PROD_PVM.tgz.0

OVM_EL5U5_X86_EBIZ12.1.3_DB_PROD_PVM2.tgz.1

OVM_EL5U5_X86_EBIZ12.1.3_DB_PROD_PVM3.tgz.2

Application Tier Template files:

OVM_EL5U5_X86_EBIZ12.1.3_APPS_PROD_PVM.tgz.0

OVM_EL5U5_X86_EBIZ12.1.3_APPS_PROD_PVM2.tgz.1

OVM_EL5U5_X86_EBIZ12.1.3_APPS_PROD_PVM3.tgz.2

Each of the above files is delivered as a separate zipped file onOracle Software Delivery Cloud, next to where you found this document.

Following are the filenames you will download:

The following considerations were made when these templates were designed:

· Templates use the para-virtualized architecture, supporting hardware withor without virtualization feature. There is no support for hardwarevirtualization (HVM).

· A limited familiarity with Oracle E-Business Suite is assumed If you are new toOracle E-Business Suite, it may be necessary to familiarize yourself with theE-Business Suite architecture before proceeding.

Please follow the instructions in this document to successfully downloadthe Oracle E-Business Suite OVM templates. For more information, see:- Oracle VM Manager guidehttp://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11081_01/welcome.html

http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11081_01/welcome.html\\\\- E-Business Suite OVM Templates Deployment Guide, linked from:http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/vm/templates/ebusinessuite.html\\\\ - README.txt contained within each of the templates referred to bythis document, with additional information.

2. Installation Instructions============================

2.1 Prepare OVM Environment---------------------------

Allocate necessary hardware and install Oracle VM from Oracle Software Delivery Cloud.

i) Download and install OVM Server from http://edelivery.oracle.com/oraclevm

ii) VNC viewer software is recommended to connect to guest's console forinitial configuration tasks. Any VNC viewer is acceptable, for examplehttp://www.tightvnc.com/

iii) The minimum hardware requirements are listed below for the OracleVM Server which would host the template's VM's.

For Oracle E-Business Suite DB Template- 75 GB of disk space- 2 GB of RAM- 1 virtual CPU

For Oracle E-Business Suite Apps Template- 50 GB of disk space- 1 GB of RAM- 1 virtual CPU

Note: This E-Business Suite installation is configured for demo purposes only.Oracle VM templates can be started with memory sizing as low as above but

as more demand is put on the system by additional users / jobs beingscheduled, integrations added etc. the greater the likelihood that thesystem will run out of resources.

The VMs created from these templates can be tuned for better performanceby following the guidelines that are provided in the E-Business SuitePerformance KnowledgeBase Articles at support.oracle.com.

2.2 Download Templates' Zipped Files------------------------------------

You will need ~200 GB disk for downloading and staging the templates:50 GB for the downlaoded zipped files, and 150 GB for the unzipped templates.You might wish to stage the unzipped templates straight into the OVMserver's stage area called the Seed Pool (the /OVS/seed_pooldirectory on an Oracle VM Server). Otherwise you can stage thetemplates on a file/web server, and have OVM later import them from there.

2.3 Unzip the Downloaded Files------------------------------The downloaded files are compressed with the zip format. Use the followinglink to download the unzip package for Linux:http://oss.oracle.com/el4/unzip/unzip.html

Once the files are downloaded to the desired location, unzip the files.

2.4 Concatenate and Extract the Templates-----------------------------------------Concatinate and extract the .tgz files. This step creates a directorywith the name of the template, containing all the files for thetemplate.

For example:

# cd /OVS/seed_pool# cat OVM_EL5U5_X86_EBIZ12.1.3_DB_PROD_PVM.tgz.0 \

OVM_EL5U5_X86_EBIZ12.1.3_DB_PROD_PVM2.tgz.1 \



OVM_EL5U5_X86_EBIZ12.1.3_DB_PROD_PVM3.tgz.2 | tar -xz

This will create the following directory structure:

/OVS/seed_pool/OVM_EL5U5_X86_EBIZ12.1.3_DB_PROD_PVM

||- System.img (OS image file)|- ebs1213db.img.img (Oracle E-Biz 12.1.3 DB Tier image file)|- vm.cfg (VM configuration file)|- README.txt

Similarly, you would perform:

# cat OVM_EL5U5_X86_EBIZ12.1.3_APPS_PROD.tgz.0\ OVM_EL5.5_X86_EBIZ12.1.3_APPS_PROD.tgz.1\ OVM_EL5.5_X86_EBIZ12.1.3_APPS_PROD.tgz.2 | tar -xz

This will create the following directory structure:

/OVS/seed_pool/OVM_EL5U5_X86_EBIZ12.1.3_APPS_PROD_PVM

||- System.img (OS image file)|- ebs1213apps.img (Oracle E-Biz 12.1.3 Application Tier image file)|- vm.cfg (VM configuration file)|- README.txt

2.5 Continue From the Template README-------------------------------------The templates come with a README.txt file.You should read the readme, and proceed with steps in section 5,titled Importing an Oracle VM Template into Oracle VM Manager .

After you import the templates, the instructions will guide youthrough creating Virtual Machines from the templates. Upon the firstboot of each Virtual Machine, you will be prompted to configure thatMachine as well as the E-Business Suite instance on it. Future bootswill not require any configuration/interaction.

3. Known Issues===============

None.
