![]() ![]() ![]() Follow the instructions in the wizard by choosing a Linux – Oracle (64 bit) operating system, whatever name you want for the virtual machine (for example CN01) and choosing the memory resources you would like to allocate to this machine. To create the Compute Node VBox, go to the Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager and click “New”. To build a simulated compute node, we will first create a virtual box and then apply the Base Image for Exalogic Linux x86_64 on it, just like installing any Oracle Enterprise Linux. Usually a quarter rack Exalogic machine has 8 compute nodes, but for demonstration purposes it is enough to build only 2 computes nodes which will be used to cluster the Middleware components. Step 3: Creating a virtual machine for the first Compute Node After accepting a few default settings, you will see an overview screen of the appliance, just as you would see on an actual Exalogic machine: You can now access the appliance interface with a browser, accessing, usually and login with” root” and the password provided above. After booting, configure the basics:ĭefault Router: The same as the IP address, but put 1 as the final octet.ĭNS Server: The same as the IP address, but put 1 as the final octet. Select the newly imported VM and click “Start”. After the import, the appliance should show up in your VBox Manager: ![]() ![]() Step2: Import the Sun Storage VBoxįrom the Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager click “File -> Import Appliance…” and go through the Import Appliance wizard choosing “Sun ZFS Storage 7000.ovf” file from the downloaded Storage Simulator. Run VirtualBox installation program and follow the instructions in the installation wizard. Once you have downloaded the above tools, you can start building the “machine”, block-by-block: Step 1: Installing Virtual Box You can also download the Weblogic Server software and Coherence software from the same link on eDelivery. From the same link as in step 3 download “Oracle Exalogic 2.0.0.0.0 Configuration Utility for Exalogic Linux x86-64 and Exalogic Solaris x86-64 (64-bit)”ĥ. Specific network Configurator for Exalogic. Also, you can choose to download the Solaris images from the same location.Ĥ. You can get it from by searching for to “Oracle Fusion Middleware” – “Linux x86_64”, then click on “Oracle Exalogic Elastic Cloud Software 11g Media Pack” and download the two archives with “Base Image for Exalogic Linux x86-64” in the title. The Oracle Enterprise Linux image that is applied on every compute node in the Exalogic machine. This is a pre-built virtual machine simulating the actual Sun ZFS Storage Appliance that comes with the Exalogic Machine. Download it from here and install on your system if not already installed.Ģ. So, in order to build the system, you will need:ġ. If you are new to the Exalogic machine, I suggest going over the Oracle Exalogic White Paper before continuing with the steps. It’s just something that you can use to get yourself familiarized with the machine. Of course, this will not be suitable for production, nor will any benchmarks have any relevance. So this post will walk you through the steps of setting up a simulated Exalogic machine, in a virtual environment, that you can use for training purposes.Īfter completing these steps, you will have an environment where you will be able to make the same storage, network, operating system and software configurations as on the actual Exalogic machine. However, even within Oracle it can be quite difficult to gain access to an Exalogic machine, and getting to know the system just by reading the documentation is a daunting task. In the new “Cloud Computing” era, Oracle is leading it’s private cloud offering with the new complete hardware and software platform for Enterprise applications, Oracle Exalogic. ![]()
