Configuring A Virtual Machine Template; Showing Configured Values For A Virtual Machine Template - Oracle X6-2-HA Deployment And User's Manual

This example imports a virtual machine template named
OVM_OL5U7_X86_64_PVM_10GB.tgz from an external template repository at the URL
'http://example.com/assemblies/OEL6/OVM_OL6U1_x86_PVHVM.tgz'. Note the
single quotation marks that enclose the URL. The template is assigned the name
OL5U7, and is imported into the odarpo1 repository:
oakcli import vmtemplate OL5U7 -files 'http://example.com/assemblies/OEL6/
OVM_OL6U1_x86_PVHVM.tgz'-repo odarepo1

Configuring a Virtual Machine Template

Use the oakcli configure vmtemplate command to configure a virtual machine
template on Oracle Database Appliance Virtualized Platform.
The values become the default values for any virtual machine cloned from this
template. You can change any or all of them later with the oakcli configure vm
command.
Example
Set values for the virtual machine template named myol5u7_10gb:
oakcli configure vmtemplate myol5u7_10gb -vcpu 2 -maxvcpu 4 -cpucap 40
-memory 1536M -maxmemory 2G -os OTHER_LINUX
• -vcpu 2 sets the number of CPUs to be assigned when the virtual machine starts
up to 2.
• -maxvcpu 4 sets the maximum number of CPUs that can be assigned to the virtual
machine to 4.
• -cpucap 40 sets the maximum percentage of a CPU's capacity that can be
assigned to the virtual machine to 40%.
• -memory 1536M sets the amount of memory to be assigned when the virtual
machine starts up to 1536 MB.
• -maxmemory 2G sets the maximum amount of memory that can be assigned to the
virtual machine to 2 GB.
• -os OTHER_LINUX sets OTHER_LINUX as the operating system used by the virtual
machine.

Showing Configured Values for a Virtual Machine Template

Use the oakcli show vmtemplate command to show values for the configurable
options in a virtual machine template.
Example
Display information about the sample1_odarepo1 virtual template:
oakcli show vmtemplate sample_odarepo1
