Pre-setup preparations are required to create and manage Oracle VM virtual machines as L-Servers of Resource Orchestrator.
For details on preparations for Oracle VM environments, refer to "Oracle VM Manager User's Guide" and "Oracle VM Server User's Guide".
Refer to the relevant version of the document, referring to the following web site:

Preparations for Servers
In addition to the operations in "4.1.1.1 Preparations for Server Environments", the following operations are necessary.
Configure VIOM
When using I/O virtualization, configuration of VIOM is necessary.
Install and configure Oracle VM Server for x86
When installing an OS on a physical server, refer to the server virtualization software manual.
When installing a VM host in an L-Server, refer to "Appendix F Installation of VM Hosts on Physical L-Servers".
Install and configure Oracle VM Manager
Necessary for management of VM hosts and L-Servers.
Configure server pools
Configure the server pool that contains the VM host used as the L-Server location.
For details on the configurations of server pools, refer to the "Oracle VM Server User's Guide".
Design and configure high availability
When performing redundancy of L-Servers, enable high availability for the server pool.
Configure SSH connection
Perform configuration to enable SSH connections from the admin server of Resource Orchestrator to the VM host using the admin LAN.
Storage Preparations
Check the following:
Volumes (LUN) to allocate to domain 0 have been already created
The LUN must be larger than the size to allocate to the L-Server.
Zoning and affinity have been set
Network Preparations
Check the following:
The configuration for the admin and public LANs has been designed
The network environment for the admin LAN is configured
The VLAN ID to allocate to the network resource has been configured
The virtual bridge has been configured beforehand
When Using IBP
When using virtual L-Servers, connect the IBP uplink sets used for the public LAN and admin LAN to the VM host regardless of VIOM, after creating each IBP uplink set. It is not necessary to use the same name for the uplink set and the name of the network resource.
Creating a Virtual Bridge
A virtual bridge is required on domain 0, in order to connect the L-Server to the network.
The virtual bridge is configured by default. When changing the settings, refer to the "Oracle VM Server User's Guide" and "Manual Network Configuration" in "E.5.4 Setup".
