Hi Ravi Ratra,

You can install eBS in an external drive also.

In fact my configuration is like this..

1. DELL laptop with 120 GB hard drive(with all my office stuffs + VM ware installed)
2. Seagate external hard drive(500 GB)- Holds the virtual machine (which contains Operating system(linux) + eBS installed)

>> This configuration will make your work computer clean.

Cheers!
Shanmuga

Hi Shanmuga,

Would you be able to plug in your Seagate external Hard Drive with the working installed Linux operating system and Oracle eBusiness Suite to any other machine (laptop or desktop computer with good resources) and then be able to log in to Oracle Apps and do any work? Than you.
Regards,
Gavrobere

Hi Gavrobere,

Yes. In fact that is the whole concept behind virtual machine. It should be portable across machines.

virtual machine is nothing but a bunch of files - (If you use Vmware)

(These files contribute a virtual machine

.vmdk --> Represents virtual machine's hard drive
.nvram --> It's like BIOS of virtual machine
.vmx --> Primay configuration file of virtual machine)


Assume that you have installed VM ware in a fresh machine and trying to access already created virtual machine (through some other computer)..

Note:- when you try to move the VM to other computer, better zip all the file and copy, this will reduce CRC errors.

You need to do two things..

1. When you try to access the VM, vmware will throw a message stating that your vm had been modified (can't recollect the exact message), just accept it. Vmware will takre care of other stuffs.

2. Bring the VM's MAC ID in sync with physical PC.


For this task click on the “Hardware Detail” tab folder and click on “Probe” button. If your status was “Inactive” before you will almost notice that after clicking this button the MAC address will change. Now your virtual network hardware is correctly configured and you can save the changings.


Restart the network

/etc/init.d/network stop
/etc/init.d/network start


Now you are ready to work with VM.

Cheers!
Shanmuga

Hi Shanmuga! Thanks a bunch for the information. I am very grateful.

1) You said " Note:- when you try to move the VM to other computer, better zip all the file and copy, this will reduce CRC errors." I don't understand this and how to go about it. Please, explain.

2) The “Hardware Detail” tab folder you mentioned, is it on the Vmware or on the Virtual Machine?

Virtual Machine equals operating system like Linux, not the Vmware. Am I correct? So, what is the role of Vmware?

Regards, Gavrobere

Hi Gavrobere,

A virtual machine is a type of computer application used to create a virtual environment, which is referred to as virtualization.

VMware is the virtualization technology by VMware Inc.

Likewise Sun has it's technology called VirtualBox etc.,

Every vendor will be have their own way of implementing this concept.

In our tutorials, we are using VMware(product developed by VMware Inc.)

This will create a virutal machine with any operating system of our choice (In our case Linux). we can install any application of our choice inside that Operating system (In our case it's Oracle EBS).

Answering your questions..

1) It's generic stuff, whenever you are transferring files which are huge and interrelated, better zip them and transfer. This is optional.

2) The 'Hardware detail' tab I mentioned is for the Operating System (Linux).

Cheers!
Shanmuga

Re:E-Business Suite Installation 14 Years, 3 Months ago  
Hi Shanmuga,

Now, I really understand the concept of VMware and Virtual Machine. I have to install a VMware software (as per tutorial) on the computer I intend to connect my external hard drive (loaded with my Enterprise Linux Virtual Machine, and other applications like Oracle eBusiness Suite), before I can have access to it and do any work on it (Virtual Machine).

Before this, I have to transfer the VM files from the external drive where it is residing at the moment, to the target computer’s Vmware environment, in a zipped format, in order to reduce CRC errors.

Technically, this means one can only connect a Virtual Machine installed on an external hard drive, to another computer and be able to work in the Virtual Machine environment, only if you have a “Administrator” privilege on the computer, in the first place, in order to install Vmware on that computer.

Thank you, Shanmuga. Now, with this understanding, I can comprehensively implement “Virtualisation”.

Regards,
Gavrobere

Shanmuga, Thank you for an express tutorial on VM. This will help other members as well.
By the way how is the performance of Oracle EBS on external USB drive? Is it acceptable?

Happy New Year to every one.
Hasan

Dear Hasan,

Performance is really good.

This could be because my Laptop is having 4 GB RAM and my External Hard drive is USB 2.0 compatible.

Tuning the DB (Memory Structures - SGA/PGA) and concurrent managers really helps.

Regards,
Shanmuga
