This section explains how to create definition files.
For definition files common to virtual L-Servers, refer to "8.1 Definition Files Commonly Shared when Creating Virtual L-Servers".
The definition files specific to OVM for x86 3.x are as follow:
For the managers and guest OSs that support the customization function, refer to "8.10.12 Customization Function of Guest OS".
SSL Port Specification Methods for VM Management Software
Configure the SSL ports for Oracle VM Manager. Use them when starting VM management software from the management console.
This setting is required in Oracle VM Manager V3.2.1 or later.
Use the UTF-8 character code for definition files.
[Windows]
Installation_folder\SVROR\Manager\etc\customize_data
[Linux]
/etc/opt/FJSVrcvmr/customize_data
ovmm.rcxprop
The definition file is entered in the following format.
Key = Value |
Specify the following items in a definition file. Other key specifications will be ignored.
Item | Key | Value | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|
Enable/Disable SSL | SSL | "vmm_ip[:port][,vmm_ip[:port]...]" | If the port number is omitted, the default port number (7002) is set. |

Guest OS Customization Definition File
When the customization function of a guest OS is used, the following definition files are set.
[Windows Manager]
Installation_folder\SVROR\Manager\etc\customize_data
os_customize_ovmforx86.rcxprop
Describe each line of the definition file in the following format:
Key = Value |
Specify the following items:
Key | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
The server pool UUID for OVM for x86 | The UUID of the storage repository for storing VCD | Describe the UUID of the storage repository for storing VCD. Specify when using customization of guest OSs. |
Use the OVM CLI to execute the following commands for obtaining UUIDs. Enter the UUID displayed in the "Id" line of the execution results in this definition file.
Obtained Item | Command for Obtaining |
|---|---|
The server pool UUID for OVM for x86 | show ServerPool |
The UUID of the storage repository for storing VCD | show Repository |
Note
Describe the UUID of the server pool in one line. Describing the UUIDs of different server pools in multiple lines is not possible. [OVM for x86 3.2]
Describing the UUIDs of different server pools in multiple lines is possible. [OVM for x86 3.3 or later]
When the key corresponding to the UUID of the server pool for OVM for x86 does not exist in the definition file, an error occurs.
Use the UTF-8 character code for this file.
When a description starts with "#", the string is regarded as a comment line.
When there are multiple instances of the UUID of the same server pool, the last definition will be used.
For the server pool name, do not use equals signs ("=") or underscores ("_").
When an environment contains both OVM for x86 3.2 guest OSs and OVM for x86 3.3 guest OSs, describe the settings for OVM for x86 3.2 guest OSs at the start of this definition file.
Customizable OS type definition file
When using the customization function of guest OS, define a customizable OS type in the following definition files.
[Windows Manager]
Installation_folder\SVROR\Manager\etc\customize_data
customizable_os_type_ ovmforx86.rcxprop
Describe each line of the definition file in the following format:
OS Type |
Describe the OS type of the VM guest of OVM for x86 3.x for OS Type.
When a description starts with "#", the string is regarded as a comment line.
Empty lines are ignored.
Use the UTF-8 character code for files.
Everything from the start of a line to the next line feed code is treated as a single OS type.
When there are two or more lines of the same OS type, the specifications in all lines are used.
Point
Describe the OS type of the VM guest of OVM for x86 3.x for OS Type.
Using the OVM CLI, the OS type of the VM guest can be acquired using the following command.
OVM>show Vm id=UUID of the VM guest<RETURN> |
The following item is contained in the value returned from the command line interface.
