Oracle VM Server Recovery Guide Version 8.
Oracle VM Server for x86 Recovery Guide The purpose of this document is to provide the steps necessary to perform system recovery of an Oracle VM Server for x86 system and to define the aspects of system recovery that are and are not supported. This guide does not include all the features and options available with SBAdmin, but is intended to be used as an addendum to the SBAdmin User Guide and the SBAdmin Linux System Recovery Guide. SBAdmin provides support for Oracle VM Server for x86 versions 2.1, 2.
Including domU Systems in dom0 Full System Backup You may perform a full system backup of the Oracle VM Server (dom0) that will include all virtualized (domU) systems. However, it is good practice to either shutdown the domU systems or use the SBAdmin snapshot backup feature on the filesystems that store the domU image files. This will ensure the domU systems are in a stable state at the time of the backup.
Oracle VM Server for x86 version 2.1 The root storage repository will be the device mounted on /OVS on the server. All extended storage repositories will be mounted as /OVS/UUID and defined in /etc/ovs/repostories. Oracle VM Server for x86 version 2.2 You may list all configured repositories on the server using the following command: /opt/ovs-agent-latest/utils/repos.
You should examine the /etc/ovs/repositories file on the server and verify that the UUID is referring to the correct device name. Oracle VM Server for x86 version 2.2 List the repositories using the following command: /opt/ovs-agent-latest/utils/repos.py –l You may see output similar to the following: [ * ] 450c66f5-6e10-4ca8-b086-c1413236f1f2 => ERROR [ ] c0e18fd7-c162-4183-836b-c883f9b1b41c => mickey:/ovm The output indicates that the root storage repository is not configured properly.
To resolve this error, it is necessary to either remove the server and re-add it through the Oracle VM Manager interface, or update the “fakeuuid” field in the /etc/ovs-agent/agent.ini file with the original uuid in the message. Oracle VM Server Memory Upon recovery of an Oracle VM Server the Oracle VM Management interface may report that the server has no free memory. This may be due to the boot parameters in the newly created grub.conf.
