Provisioning Capabilities of Oracle Enterprise Ops Center Manager 12c [28096]
Two New Oracle Learning Videos
Two new videos on the Oracle Learning Youtube channel cover the provisioning capabilities of Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center 12c, Owen Allen reports. Both presentations are by Simon Hayler. According to Allen the first video shows how to provision Oracle Solaris zones, explaining how to create an Oracle Solaris Zone profile and then showing how to apply it (using a deployment plan) to a target system. The second video shows how to provision an x86 server with Oracle Solaris using a very similar process: you create an OS provisioning profile, then use a deployment plan to apply it to the target hardware.

The procedure for migrating a physical Solaris 8 P2V system with Oracle database 10.2 with an ASM file system into a Solaris 8 branded zone inside a Solaris 10 guest domain on top of a Solaris 11 control domain is the subject of a recent post by Orgad Kimchi. The author presents two examples. One preserves the host information while the second involves modifying the host name. Kimchi successfully migrated the Solaris 8 physical system into the Solaris 8 branded Zone, and the Zone was able to access the ASM file system.
