Oracle on VMware Fusion?

My next project will work with Oracle running on Red Hat Linux.  I would like to simulate this environment on my 2.4 GHX MacBook Pro and found

"Oracle on VMware" Virtual Appliance of Bert Scalzo (http://www.vmware.com/appliances/directory/62414) to give me the OS and DB in one fell swoop. 

Here's my plan.  I'd appreciate comments on the approach and assumptions.

1 order VMWare Fusion from Amazon (save a little money, but I have to wait a few days).

2A ordered 4 GB memory from Crucial to replace my 2 GB.

3. the intention to buy a small HD portable Firewire 800 to host the virtual machine may be VMs.

4 downloaded "Oracle on VMware" Virtual Appliance of Bert Scalzo (Linux and Oracle together)

After I installed VMWare and set up my first VM, install the "Oracle on VMWare" virtual device will be intuitive or is there something I should know?

My hypothesis on this device - it and any device VM will be a ready-to-go VM without installation required.

Not really what to expect of the unit (limits?-access root for example?), I also download Oracle 11 g 1 material for Linux (http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle11g/111060_linuxsoft.html) and Ubuntu desktop edition 8.1 (http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download)-this will probably be the best option.

1 order VMWare Fusion from Amazon (save a little money, but I have to wait a few days).

First of all, I take advantage of the trial 30 - day free that you can download now and it is the normal release fully functional fusion that you use a serial number which is good for 30 days, so if you decide to purchase simply enter your purchased serial number and continue.

2A ordered 4 GB memory from Crucial to replace my 2 GB.

Crucial Grand and I have bought from them for years without any problem.

BTW, the Oracle_On_VMware Virtual Machine is configured to use the 1 GB of RAM so you can run on a system with only 2 GB of RAM, but 4 is better.

3. the intention to buy a small HD portable Firewire 800 to host the virtual machine may be VMs.

FireWire 800 works great store and run your Virtual Machines since however I would keep in mind it is easy to accidentally disconnect in use and garbage can not only the Virtual Machine, but it has the potential in the trash the disk file system so just be vary well that if you don't erase a disc.

4 downloaded "Oracle on VMware" Virtual Appliance of Bert Scalzo (Linux and Oracle together)

The Oracle_On_VMware.7z file is compressed with 7Zip and is not natively supported in OS X so you will need to use a 3rd party utility to decompress the archive.  EZ 7z works very well.  It has a front end GUI but the real work is done in a Terminal, but the price is right.

The author does not publish a checksum for the archives, so here's the md5sum generated from the download and I'm including because she extracted without error and ran very well while it is a unofficial md5sum, it may be useful to check and see what you get. MD5 (Oracle_On_VMware.7z) = 70464f2be7b1ef889a736c2b0665c992

The extracted file of handset size is 4.35 GB

After I installed VMWare and set up my first VM, install the "Oracle on VMWare" virtual device will be intuitive or is there something I should know?

My hypothesis on this device - it and any device VM will be a ready-to-go VM without installation required.

Not really what to expect of the unit (limits?-for example root access?)

If you paid attention during playback of the web of VMware Appliance it page States ' key Linux user accounts: root/root123 and oracle/oracle "and the download page States...

==========

Linux connections: root / root123

Oracle / oracle

Oracle connections: sys / mgr @ XE

System / Manager @ XE

xdba / xdba (dba example account)

xdev / xdev (example developer account)

Oracle SID: XE

Oracle Express: http://127.0.0.1:8080 / apex

Developer SQL: / opt/sqldeveloper

==========

The unit is practically ready to go however it extracted just in a folder and normal file-based Fusion of VMS are in packages that are a regular folder that has an extension added to it and hidden by default so it you want it to be like normal file based Machine virtual merger just add the .vmwarevm extension.  Otherwise, you can simply drag and drop the '4.vmx Red Hat Enterprise Linux' file in the Virtual Machine library or just double-click it.  (Same thing if you compress it just of DND package or double-click it.)

==========

When you start the virtual machine you will be asked...

You want to upgrade this virtual machine?

An improved virtual machine offers the best performance 3D and other features, but cannot be used by earlier versions of VMware Fusion, until it downgrade you.

If you do not get to level the system will work well and work VMware Tools with the exception of the unit does not work correctly unless you upgrade VMware Tools.

If you are upgrading then Kudzu invite you to delete and add a few hardware items and it is very simple and should be done.  You need to upgrade VMware Tools to take advantage of the equipment upgraded.

==========

You will also be asked to...

This virtual machine may have been moved or copied.

In order to configure certain management and network features VMware Fusion needs to know that.

Did you move this virtual machine, or you copied it?

If you are unsure, answer "I copied it".

If you select "I copied it" it will change the MAC address of the VM virtual network card and this will be detected and Kudzu invites you to remove and add the network adapter and it's very simple and you will need to have network connectivity

==========

Time zone is set for the moment Central America/Chicago, you may need to adjust that.

HGFS works well that if you do not set a shared folder of VMware, you will see the message ' editing HGFS actions: 'FAILURE' "and you can ignore it if your not not using VMware Shared Folders.

I also download Oracle 11 g 1 material for Linux (http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle11g/111060_linuxsoft.html) and Ubuntu desktop edition (http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download) 8.1 - this will probably be the best option.

You use a device it a great way to get up and running quickly to make the tests but it's always good you build your own Virtual Machine so that you know exactly everything about her.

In any case, it is some of what might need/want to know that you dive into it.

  • Install Oracle Linux 6 update 2 in vmware fusion

    Then I looked around and it seems that there is a bug in the oracle linux distro that causes the screen to be cut in the installation program.

    The solution which is given anywhere is for vm workstation and go into the settings of the virtual machine, and configure the virtual machine display to have a screen at 1024 x 768.  Save the settings.

    However in vmware fusion 4.1 I don't seem to have that option.

    Does anyone know another solution for this?

    Thank you

    Mike

    Hi dalupus,

    The quick and easy solution is just use the keyboard... on most pages Installer, simply pressing enter move you to the next screen, even if there is no Next button visible.  If you change something on one of the pages of the Setup program, the Enter key may not work... In this case also, Alt-N should be is to click on the button "Next" invisible.  With my keyboard, it's the - N Option; You may need to adjust your keyboard and layout.  I can use this technique to make throughout the Oracle Linux 6 update 2 installation on Fusion here.  After restarting the virtual machine in the second stage of the installation, you will see at least the half top of the keys.  Once the operating system is configured and that you log the guest operating system, follow the instructions in KB to install the correct video driver in the comments.

    If you prefer to do the next button appear correctly from the start, you will need to change the configuration of your virtual machine file to include:

    SVGA. AutoDetect = "FALSE".

    svga.maxWidth = "1024".

    svga.maxHeight = "768".

    Make sure that you remove these two lines, once the client's video driver is set to day, otherwise, the virtual machine display stuck at 1024 x 768.

    I hope this helps!

    Server is / was a free product. No need to buy.

    I have 4G RAM in my MacBook. My plan is to 1 G RAM for each Linux.

    Oracle Enterprise Linux is Linux.

    As the other person said, there is an amount of overhead by VM. As you can run linux clients, make sure that the 3D acceleration is not activated as it a) does not work under linux, there is no graphics acceleration driver that works right now and b) 3D acceleration uses by default an another 128 MB / VM.

  • VMware Fusion 8.0

    I plan to put VMware Fusion 8.0 on my new Mac Mini, so I can run an older version of Quicken for Mac 2006 R7. I have more than 20 years, the Quicken data files and I need to be able to access these files years every so often for the purposes of investment. Didn't like not all of the new version of Quicken for Mac, or any other software of finance personal I tested (they all seem to be cloud online version now), so I went back to the old version of Quicken, which is very stable for me (I just don't let it backup on my internal HD more).

    All the old Quicken files and the program are on my Time Capsule and another hard drive backup external.

    My old Mac Mini still works, but given that the OSX can not be upgraded beyond v. 10.6.8 some programs and Firefox work just not so well, and I was starting to think I have some security issue too.

    I could get another monitor to the old Mini and not allow access to the internet, but it would still need to save every day at least to one of the external drives. Or, I could attach it to my current monitor along the coast the new Mini, using the D - SUB cable. I've never used the D - SUB connection, so not sure how good the view will be if two Minis share the same monitor. If I could afford to buy another monitor, I'd do it, but now, money is tight after the purchase of my new Mini and a new MBP for my daughter who is in College (his old MB was a 2008 model, no place to upgrade more, so it's very, very slow).

    I read here that some people had problems of compatibility with El Capitan and Fusion, so I am wary of load on the new Mini. Are these problems solved?

    When you read about the problems? If you're careful, you can try merge free simply go to their web site to access the free trial version. You can also use VirtualBox which is free. I don't think that you will have problems with the virtual machine.

    Where you might have problems to run older versions of Quicken rather that perhaps in Quicken for Windows in your virtual machine running Windows or just the new version of Quicken for Mac without running a virtual machine. But I don't know much about Quicken.

  • Bootcamp Windows 7 cannot run by VMWare Fusion 8.1.0

    I use MBP (13 "mid-2010) 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 Nvidia 320 M 256 MB

    That's what I did in chronological order

    (1) improved my MBP to El Capitan 10.11.1

    (2) my VMWare Fusion Pro 7 did not work - asked me to upgrade to version 8 to access my Windows 7 Boot Camp

    (3) no choice... I had to upgrade to VMWare Fusion... fact to 8.0.0... my Boot Camp Windows could not always run... .deleted previous Virtual Machine... again added to select Windows in boot camp...

    (4) does not work either... just got a free upgrade to VMWare Fusion 8.1.0... now the question is much worse... when I try to add my windows Boot Camp... That said:

    " Volume the Boot Camp is not prepared to stand as a virtual machine. It seems that Windows don't is is not properly stopped the last time it was used.

    "To shut down Windows properly, go to System Preferences > startup disk and set Windows as the start-up operation.

    (5) tried to run windows to startup as suggested... says NO OPERATING SYSTEM FOUND... it seems that my windows boot file is missing?

    Wait a second... (I don't know why I did... but I 'played' with the utility drive Partition and tried to expand my (not accessible) windows... between step 2) and 3) above

    Ideas to solve my problem...

    Appreciated. Thank you.

    Step 1 has caused the problem. It may be easily fixable. Can you post the output of the following Terminal commands?

    diskutil list

    Cs diskutil list

    sudo TPG - vv - r see the/dev/disk0

    sudo fdisk/dev/disk0

    The "sudo" commands will prompt to enter your password, and there do not appear to come back. You can also see caution against improper use 'sudo' and the potential loss of data due to an "abuse" of the order.

  • GPIB-usb-hs on vmware fusion

    I am running Windows 7 64-bit on an iMac with OS X 10.6.5 via VMWare Fusion. I installed the driver NOR-488. 2, but can not see my GPIB-USB-HS device. This post: http://forums.ni.com/t5/Instrument-Control-GPIB-Serial/NI-488-2-does-work-on-Windows-XP-Mode-within-... seems to indicate that someone else has had success; his problem was using XP Mode.

    Anyone can shed some light on this? Can I expect the combination of the GPIB-USB-HS with Windows 7-64 on VMWare Fusion on an iMac to work?

    I also have a USB-6215 is working well.

    Thank you!

    John-

    I moved my virtual machine to an OS X 10.6.6 system and things did not work immediately. The GPIB-USB-HS was not visible to the MAX and in Device Manager it looks good, when when I open the property page, he says that there is no driver loaded.

    I was able to get the GPIB-USB-HS working by choosing to update the driver through the Device Manager. The steps to do this are:

    1. right click on the GPIB-USB-HS in Device Manager and select "update driver software...". »

    2. Select "Browse my computer for driver software" and then "Let me pick from a list of drivers for devices on my computer.

    3. you must be exactly a GPIB-USB-HS driver to choose. Select it and click Next.

    4. once it finished, view the properties of the device and make you it is said "this device is working properly."

    I did the same test for validating a single request with the device, but it seems to work.

  • A product key from an old computer can be used for vmware fusion on a new mac?

    We used to own a Dell computer with windows XP Professional OS. Lately, we have switched all of our Mac computers and no longer use the old windows computer. I have the product key for this OS and I was hoping to use the CD of windows XP on VMware fusion and relocation (in order to play video games). So far, the installation was almost a success until it would not accept the old operating system product key. Is there a way to get a new product key?
    PS The only purpose is for the PC games we have.

    can I get another free product key? I still have the old computer

    you need to know if the old pc had an O E M version of windows, because

    windows OEM versions are locked to the motherboard of the PC they where first installed at.

    If the product key you have is from a version marketed Windows (non oem) you can install the version on another pc if you take away the first pc.

    in other words, a version on a pc at the same time.

    You should check with the microsoft Web site dealing with pirated software and product keys.

  • Sierra and VMWare Fusion 6.0.6 macOS does not?

    I just updated my MacBook Pro (mid-2015) for macOS 10.12 "Sierra", and now when I try to start the Simulator BB10, it "just hangs" «forever» (at least as long as I'm patient enough to let stand at least 10 minutes, I'll try letting it sit UAB tonight) with the 'play' button displayed in the window of the program VMWare Fusion 6.0.6.  By clicking on the 'play' button does nothing.  When I try to quit VMWare Fusion, it again me, the Simulator is 'busy' and leaves me not even exit normally.  I managed to force it to leave it in the Apple system menu.

    Before that I pay to update my VMWare Fusion to the latest version, can anyone confirm if it (and the rest of the Momentics development system) will continue to operate under macOS 'Sierra '?

    Thank you

    Well, good and less good news.

    Good news, I installed the trial version of VMWare Fusion 8.5.0 on my macOS Sierra system 10.12 and the BB10 Simulator (at least, the latest version 10.3.2.281) works and my application can run on it!

    Less good news, it runs * very * slow.

    No 1200% slow as the virtualiation equipment turned off, but still slower than it was before.
