Managing Oracle VM Server Repositories

Oracle VM uses the concept of repositories to define where Oracle VM resources may
reside. Resources include guest virtual machines, virtual machines templates (guest
seed images), ISO images, shared virtual disks, and so on.
A repository is used for live migration of guests and for local storage.
