available in the templates archives and the OTN Home Page.

Using Oracle Virtualization Templates for Oracle Database are useful

for a wide variety of audience like System admins, DBAs, application
developers, beginners and advanced users. The templates are:

▪ 100% debugged and polished! Not some 'reference'

template.
▪ 100% self-contained, no need to glue together an OS with
scripts, Oracle software, etc.
▪ Same template is used for production or testing
▪ Templates are o�ered both for Oracle VM 3.x / Oracle VM
2.x as well as Oracle KVM/OLVM, subject to product
support (e.g. RAC, etc.)
▪ Latest RUs/PSUs/patches included and other
recommended �xes
▪ It is possible to customize the installed patches using
opatch pre/post deployment
▪ No install/build failures, always works!

CLOUD NEWS: In May 2019 the Database Templates made a transition to the
Oracle Cloud! it is now possible to deploy a Single Instance (or Oracle Restart)
Oracle Database on the OCI Marketplace using a similar framework presented
in these templates for a decade! Enjoy a smooth transition to the Oracle Cloud
and amaze everyone with a fully deployed Oracle Database in only a few clicks
and a few minutes!

Tips
▪ JUN2021 Newly released Deploycluster tool version 4.x
supports Oracle KVM/OLVM.
▪ OCT2018 templates include a Swingbench "quick setup",
follow steps in: ~oracle/swingbench/README_FIRST.txt
▪ Newly released Deploycluster tool version 3.x supports
Oracle VM version 3.3/3.4 and higher
▪ Deploycluster tool version 2.x supports Oracle VM version
3.2 and lower
▪ Single Instance and Oracle 12c support comes with
deploycluster version 2.0 or above.

Knowledge Article https://support.oracle.com/ic/builder/rt/customer_portal/live/webApps/customer-portal/?ancho...

▪ It is always recommended to upgrade the Oracle VM

environment to the latest version available from Software
Delivery Cloud or Unbreakable Linux Network (ULN).
▪ Import the templates by providing both .zip or .tgz/.tbz
�les in a single import operation. This may mean
combining the two parts of the second (Oracle disk) image
�le.Oracle VM 2 users should unzip into /OVS/seed_pool.
▪ Those without an FTP/HTTP server, might
bene�t from this single command that will
start a web server on the current and all sub-
directories (be sure to shut this down once
import is completed for security reasons, see
Deploycluster doc for more info):
▪ $ python -m SimpleHTTPServer
8000 Now browse to this location:
h�p://hostname:8000/
▪ OVM3 users are strongly encouraged to use the
Deploycluster tool available as a free download along
with its documentation.
▪ After importing the template, remove the
xenbr0 & xenbr1 from the template and your
networks using the Manager, then a�ach the
correct bridge names for your OVM3
installation.
▪ Watch out since disk sizes in OVM3 UI are in
GB by default, not MB as in OVM2. If you type
2048 you will end up with a 2TB �le.
▪ All the Oracle VM Templates for Oracle
Database will work with the deploycluster tool

as long as the OS disk is with OVMAPI support

(from template #8 [ol5u8] or #9 [ol6u2] above,
all releases since 2012), see documentation for
further details.
▪ OVM2 users planning to use guests running ext4 as boot
device (currently all the OL6 based templates) require
Oracle VM 2.2.2 or above
▪ In order to import the templates in Enterprise Manager
Ops Center 12c (EMOC) follow these steps:
▪ Import disk 1of2 as usual, using 'Server
Templates' TAB under vDC Account
▪ On the RIGHT side expand the ACTIONS right
sidebar, and select "Import Volume", then
import disk 2of2 as a volume.
▪ During VM creation, you can a�ach disk 2of2
as a volume.

Known Issues - Oracle VM

Templates for Oracle Database:
1) Role separation build on template#3 above (11.2.0.2.0)
may fail at database creation time, due to incorrect
permissions set by setasmgid. This failure is described in
Bug 11072434 and is not speci�c to the templates. Until an
o�cial �x is provided in the next update to the templates,
follow these steps before running buildcluster on all nodes
(or in the template primary copy, before creating VMs):

# cd /u01/app/11.2.0/grid/rdbms/lib
# cp -a ins_rdbms.mk ins_rdbms.mk.orig
# vi +1099 ins_rdbms.mk

36 sur 46 2/18/2025, 1:29 PM

Knowledge Article https://support.oracle.com/ic/builder/rt/customer_portal/live/webApps/customer-portal/?ancho...

Change line 1099 in ins_rdbms.mk, from this:

$(SETASMGID): $(ALWAYS) $(SETASMGID_DEPS)

$(CONFIG)

to this:

$(SETASMGID): $(ALWAYS) $(SETASMGID_DEPS) config.

$(OBJ_EXT)

If the build already failed, skip above code change, and just
change CLONE_RELINK=yes in params.ini, then run 'clean'
and re-run buildcluster.

2) Under certain conditions, shared disks on OCFS2 and

OVM in v2.2.1 (kernel 2.6.18-128.2.1.4.28 or below), second
(or beyond nodes) will fail to join the cluster as described in:

Bug 9961364 - FRESH INSTALL ROOT.SH FAIL 2ND NODE:

CRS-2800 ORA.ASM ALREADY INTERMEDIATE STATE

Start of resource "ora.crsd" failed

CRS-2800: Cannot start resource 'ora.asm' as it is
already in the
INTERMEDIATE state on server '<node1>'
CRS-4000: Command Start failed, or completed with
errors.
Failed to start Oracle Clusterware stack
Failed to start Cluster Ready Services at
/u01/app/11.2.0/grid/crs/install/crsconfig_lib.pm
line 1041.

This is an OCFS issue, and is �xed as part of

Bug 11668659 - LOOPBACK DRIVER SPINNING ON CPU

UNDER SOME CONDITIONS CAUSING IO TO FILE TO

Which is released as OVM222 update. If you notice that a

Knowledge Article https://support.oracle.com/ic/builder/rt/customer_portal/live/webApps/customer-portal/?ancho...

simple "dd" inside the VMs is hanging on the shared disks,

or a spinning 100% CPU loopback device on Dom0, then
you are hi�ing this issue. Only a reboot of Dom0 can clear
this issue, or applying OVM222 of course. This only can
occur in "Test" deployment, since "Production" deployment
uses physical disks and does not use the loopback device.

3) A�empting to install newer PSUs on the templates may

fail as described in 1493004.1 since OPatch does not
automatically rollback overlay �xes that are not included as
part of the newly installed PSU. This is OPatch's default
behavior by design, even with the -force_con�ict �ag it will
refuse to automatically remove overlay (aka dependent)
patches. For example, error from OPatch may look like:

Prerequisite check
"CheckPatchRollbackDependents" for auto-rollback
patches failed.
The details are:
OPatch will not roll back patch(es) "list of
bugs..."

until you have rolled back dependent patch(es)

"10058182,10396543,9981011".

To apply the new PSU, �rst rollback these con�icting

overlay patches using OPatch 'nrollback'. Once the new PSU
is applied (use the -force_con�ict �ag with OPatch 'apply')
the previously uninstalled overlay patches may optionally
be re-installed. Make sure to install base-�x patches, i.e.
ones created for 11.2.0.2.0 or 11.2.0.3.0 unless a true con�ict
with the PSU exists and then an overlay patch should be
used, e.g. on top of 11.2.0.2.6.

See FAQ in PDF on how to apply patches before/after

deployment.

4) Using the 12.1.0.1.0 (#13) or 11.2.0.4.0 (#12) on OL5 based OS

may produce similar harmless warnings in /var/log/messages:

type=1400 audit(1383109395.462:32): avc: denied { associate } for pid=171

type=1400 audit(1383109813.675:33): avc: denied { associate } for pid=172

You may either ignore these, run (one time only) /sbin/
restorecon -R /u01 as root user, or (not recommended)
disable SELinux (In /etc/syscon�g/selinux set
SELINUX=disabled).

5) Using the 12.1.0.2.2 (#15) or 11.2.0.4.5 (#14) downloaded in

February 2015 post ASM setup was skipped. Templates
downloaded in March 2015 and beyond have this corrected.
The missing command should run as the grid owner as
follows: asmca -silent -postCon�gureASM.

6) The o�cial OL6u7 & OL7u2 OS disks were re-uploaded/

released to e-delivery with some �xes that were important
enough for the OVM DB/RAC Templates to also refresh, see
README in .ZIP �le for details. The OL6u7 �xed bug
18812855 (boot slow on pvhvm, does not impact originally
released template, potentially can impact after kernel
update). The OL7u2 �xed bug 22224874 by se�ing default
for RemoveIPC=no in /etc/systemd/logind.conf, this is a
critical �x for OL7u2 and database/RAC workloads!

7) The Deploycluster tool requires Oracle Java 1.6 or higher,

and it is not supported to run with OpenJDK Java or GNU
Compiler for Java (gcj). The Deploycluster tool uses
ovmwsh (OVM Shell) which fails to run on these Java
frameworks as follows:

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_91-b15)

Be sure to use the correct Java version when on the node

running Deploycluster.

8) On older hardware, rngd daemon fails with "read error" on

UEK4 based templates, this is a generic issue and not related to
the templates; see bug 21664137.

9) In some Oracle VM 3.4.2 environments, deploycluster v3 tool

may print such an error:

ERROR: Failed to get the list of all VMs! (first 4 lines

of exception;

see output below):

com.sun.jersey.api.client.ClientHandlerException:
com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.exc.InvalidFormatException:
Can not construct instance of
com.oracle.ovm.mgr.ws.model.Vm$VmRestartAction from String

m@4fabbfd2;
line: 1, column: 60547] (through reference chain:
com.oracle.ovm.mgr.ws.model.Vm["restartActionOnCrash"])

Please use Deploycluster tool version 3.0.5 or higher which

resolves this error condition.

10) In the 12.2.0.1.0 templates (#26) a failure may appear when

AFD is used with Multi-ASM diskgroups (this does not impact
ASM on NFS usage) as follows:

create diskgroup RECO EXTERNAL redundancy disk 'AFD'

*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-15018: diskgroup cannot be created
ORA-15031: disk specification 'AFD' matches no disks

New templates that �x this have uploaded to Oracle Software

Delivery Cloud (e-delivery) on September 15th, 2017. Until then,
the �x is simply to edit /u01/racovm/racovm.sh on node that
buildcluster is running from as follows around line 6900:

NEW line: if match_re "$disk" ":" && [[ ${disk:0:1} == '/'

]]; then
OLD line: if match_re "$disk" ":"; then

11) In OL7 based templates dated before 2017 (#22 or below) that
have later been yum updated to OL7.3 or higher, a redeployment
(clean followed by buildcluster) most likely will fail due to PING
failure as described in bug report "Bug 25129324 - ping to local
node using -I �ag with interface NAME fails, but with IP works
OK". This is due to a newer 'ping' binary in ol7.3 that has a slight

42 sur 46 2/18/2025, 1:29 PM

Knowledge Article https://support.oracle.com/ic/builder/rt/customer_portal/live/webApps/customer-portal/?ancho...

change in behavior that breaks older automation. This is �xed in

any OL7 based template released in 2017 or later. The solution is
to do either one of the following:

▪ Update to a template dated 2017 or later. Enough to

only replace the Oracle disk which has the automation
code.
▪ Temporarily replace the 'ping' binary from an ol7.2 (or
before) system for the duration of the deployment,
and later place original ping binary.
12) Templates released in late 2018 boot with UEK5 by default, at
the time of the release of the templates, ACFS and ASMFD did
not support UEK5, as such, customers who require ACFS or
ASMFD will need to boot into the already installed UEK4 instead.
To adjust the templates to automatically boot into UEK4, simply
boot single user, use 'grubby --set-default' to set the UEK4 as
default kernel, then shutdown and use that image as the new
"Golden Image" or Template. The templates are provided as a
framework that strives to deliver "latest and greatest" and from
time to time such "issues" might arrise, customers are encourged
to customize as needed.

13) If the Deploycluster tool fails to run with a java-like exception,

especially on newer Oracle VM Manager, for example:

com.sun.jersey.api.client.ClientHandlerException:
com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.exc.InvalidFormatException:
Can not construct instance of
com.oracle.ovm.mgr.ws.model.VmStartPolicy from String
value 'BALANCE_SERVER': value not one of declared Enum
instance names
at [Source:
sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection$HttpInputStrea
m@291caff1; line: 1, column: 4449] (through reference
chain: com.oracle.ovm.mgr.ws.model.Vm["vmStartPolicy"])

A�empt to replace the run-time library on OVM3.3+: subdirectory

Knowledge Article https://support.oracle.com/ic/builder/rt/customer_portal/live/webApps/customer-portal/?ancho...

'ovmwsh', OVM3.2: subdirectory 'ovm_shell' by running these

commands:

# mv ovmwsh ovmwsh.KEEP
# cp -a /u01/app/oracle/ovm-manager-3/ovmwsh .

Above commands assume OVM3.3 or higher, current working

directory is the place where the deploycluster tool was unzipped,
and that this is on the Manager node. For OVM3.2 use the
'ovm_shell' directory (instead of ovmwsh), and if running not on
manager node, use 'scp' to obtain the runtime library.

14) Some deployments may fail when "role separation" is used

during DBCA phase with similar error:

Failed to create directory "/u01/app/oradba/admin/MYDB/

adump" on "testc180,testc181", "/bin/mkdir: cannot create
directory '/u01/app/oradba/admin': Permission denied
:failed".
/bin/mkdir: cannot create directory '/u01/app/oradba/
admin': Permission denied :failed

Until an o�cial �x is in place; the workaround is to edit /u01/

racovm/racovm.sh on the node that buildcluster is running from
as follows around line 4116:

NEW line: "RunOnNodes ... $GIHOME 2>/dev/null ; $MKDIR

..."
OLD line: "RunOnNodes ... $GIHOME 2>/dev/null & $MKDIR
..."

Replace the FIRST "&" with a ";" semicolon on line 4116 (long line
starting with RunOnNodes).

Note:

▪ The Templates include the latest OS & Oracle/RDBMS

patches at time of the release. It is strongly recommended
to update to latest patches (at time of deployment or

placement into production usage) using standard OS/

Oracle patching practices. OS updates may be obtained
from ULN and RDBMS patches from CPU page.
▪ The Templates are updated on an as needed basis, and
until such updates are made available customers are
encouraged to use the latest Template available and apply
updates to it manually or via automated tools.
