where activate script of post-installation on an ESX4 host

Hello

You used to be able to modify the struts - config.xml to allow scripted installation configuration to work, but even the script link is not there on the Web page of the hosts. Anyone know if the script file is formed in another location that the .xml file above is there any more.

Thank you

Dan

This feature has been removed from ESX 4, take a look at the release notes: http://www.vmware.com/support/vsphere4/doc/vsp_esx40_vc40_rel_notes.html

VMware Web Access kickstart script Builder is not supported

For installation ESX scripted, the generator script VMware Web Access is not available in vSphere 4.0.

Solution: You can use the startup script that is automatically generated after an interactive installation. After the first interactive installation of ESX, the installer creates a script /root/ks.cfg in the ESX filesystem. This text reflects the choices you made in the interactive installation. For a complete list of the commands supported and a sample script, see the ESX and vCenter Server Installation Guide.

You can use the 3.5 ESX kickstart, but know there are some obsolete commands, so I recommend to check the documentation. This is an excellent point of departure for cofiguring kickstart for ESX 4 by Mike Laspina: http://blog.laspina.ca/ubiquitous/automating-vsphere-esx4-host-installations

  • Problem with the CentOS post-installation Script

    Good afternoon

    I use VMware Studio 2.6 to create a couple of CentOS 6.2 VMs.  A virtual machine is perfect, the other does not work it's "Script of post-installation of Application."  I find it a little strange because if I just copy the script from Studio in the virtual machine, it works fine.  But not when I'm deployign the OVF.  What?

    The two CentOS systems are virtually the same.  the only difference is in the FULL domain name and host name lines where I grep for different properties of the FVO.

    Someone has ideas how to debug this?  Thanks in advance.  I've included the script to post below.

    #! / bin/bash
    ###################
    # post.sh sets up a new system with the required configuration
    #
    # post.sh v1.0 - [email protected]
    #
    ###################
    # Variables - from the user entered in the OVF properties
    #
    FQDN = "/ opt/vmware/share/vami/vami_ovf_process - p |" grep new_hostname | "cut-d" "'-f4"
    Hostname = "/ opt/vmware/share/vami/vami_ovf_process - p |" grep new_hostname | cut-d ""'-f4 | cut d. "" - f1 "
    DOMAINNAME = "${FQDN #*.} '"
    IP_ADDR = "/ opt/vmware/share/vami/vami_ovf_process - p |" grep vami.ip0 | "cut-d" "'-f4"

    # Set SELINUX to disabled
    SED 's/SELINUX=.*/SELINUX=disabled/' / etc/selinux/config-i
    echo 0 >/selinux/apply

    # Set the host name
    sed-i "s/HOSTNAME=.*/HOSTNAME=$HOSTNAME/" sysconfig
    sed-i "s/DOMAINNAME=.*/DOMAINNAME=$DOMAINNAME/" sysconfig
    echo '$IP_ADDR $FQDN $HOSTNAME' > > / etc/hosts
    hostname $HOSTNAME
    service network restart

    Hmm. This does not resemble a script of post-installation for me at all. This script is run at the end of the installation, but the VM has not been deployed yet, so the properties of the FVO are likely not useful (they are only put in place at the time of the deployment, for the * user * unit and you do this during the compilation, like the * author * the device.) The network parameters that exist in the envionment of the author are almost certainly not this as an end user * deployment * unit is lilkely to use; their domain, dns, and network addresses certainly not will be yours). Also, you don't mention how this script "failed", that might help narrow down the cause. Look at the debug log and the postinstall.log and see if you can find the real cause of the error. But in all cases, property OVF stuff you make here is not part of the postinstall script. Instead, it looks more like something that belongs in a script firstboot, although VAMI already does most of what you do with networking.

  • Parameters of OEM for pre/Post Installation (deployment/patch) Scripts

    If all goes well, a simple question.

    Install scripts OEM 12 c Supports pre/post in the form of shell scripts that can be run before and after a deployment or patching operation (for example when you deploy the Client OEM to a system, you can run a script before installation or after installation).

    These scripts can take a parameter?  Specifically, can the machine which is deployed to be transmitted to these scripts shell as a parameter (for example /opt/my_shell_script.sh HOST % where % HOST would be replaced by the host name being patched or transferred to for example).

    To be clear, I don't mean to have a script running ON the area being installed to... I want to use the box being installed in as a parameter of a script running on the Server OEM.

    Cannot find any documentation on what or if the parameters are supported in these pre/post installation scripts.

    Any information would be appreciated.

  • post installation Rapidwiz bit linux64 listener HTTP RW-50015 errors

    New Installation of R12.1.1 under Linux x 86-64
    using electronic delivery zip files
    created dir staged successfully

    Ran rapidwiz
    New Installation and setup selected Express
    Rapidwiz worked and installed all the files, but it failed at the end when you post for post install
    When the screen showed to validate system configuration post-installation verification:

    I got the http error (RW-50015: error:-HTTP listener does not respond)
    Error details:

    RW-50015: error:-HTTP listener does not. The service may not be started on the port again. Please check the service and use the button try again.

    a few other facts
    I can't launch sqlplus, no access to the database.
    It seems variable villas are not defined as echo shows an empty value.

    as the problem is known by the RW-50015 HTTP error, I tried several solutions, but no luck:
    ----------------------------
    I tried solution 1:

    I was able to run APPSVIS_localhost.env
    However, I can not connect to sqlplus
    Therefore, no access to the database:

    pwd
    / D01/Oracle/screws/Apps/apps_st/Appl

    [root@localhost appl] # chmod 777 APPSVIS_localhost.env

    [root@localhost appl] #./APPSVIS_localhost.env

    [oracle@localhost appl] $./APPSVIS_localhost.env

    [applmgr@localhost appl] $./APPSVIS_localhost.env

    [applmgr@localhost appl] $ cd /d01/oracle/VIS/db/tech_st/11.1.0/bin
    [applmgr@localhost bin] $. / sqlplus
    . / sqlplus: error while loading shared libraries: /d01/oracle/VIS/db/tech_st/11.1.0/lib/libclntsh.so.11.1: cannot restore segment prot after LAN: permission denied
    [applmgr@localhost bin] $

    variable env oracle echo that they are all empty:
    for example:
    [oracle@localhost scripts] $ echo $APPL_TOP


    Then I tried the commands $ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME/adstpall.sh apps/applications and restart with adstrtal.sh:

    could not even use script v as I got error:

    [oracle@localhost VIS_localhost] $ cd/d01/oracle/SCREWS/inst/apps/VIS_localhost/admin/scripts
    [oracle@localhost scripts] $ ls adst *.
    adstpall.sh adstrtal.sh
    [oracle@localhost scripts] $./adstpall.sh apps/apps

    You run adstpall.sh version 120.10


    adstpall.sh: the base connection could not be established. The database is out of service or applications provided credentials are wrong.

    USE: adstpall.sh < appsusername/appspassword >


    adstpall.sh: leave with the State 1

    ... put in comment the following line:

    ... and replace it with:

    EVAL ohs_start "$args".

    I have not tried, I think my problem is with database and sql that are not accessible.
    ----------------------------------

    Solution 2:
    Tried the solution of Note 943443.1

    But first of all I can't see any file with # ls libdb *:
    [root@localhost inst] # cd/usr/lib
    [root@localhost lib] # ls libdb. *
    method: cannot access libdb *: no such file or directory

    / usr/lib
    [root@localhost lib] # ln s /usr/lib/libgdbm.so.2.0.0 /usr/lib/libdb.so.2

    now I see libdb.so.2:
    [root@localhost lib] # pwd
    / usr/lib
    [root@localhost lib] # ls libdb. *
    libdb.so.2

    then click Retry in the form rapidwiz where it showed the error (validate the system Config)
    but it fails with the same error:

    Hello

    Yes, that's right, that I better have a reinstall.
    One thing I would make sure before starting a new resettlement, is how I defined my users at the level of the operating system (linux):
    Outside the root, I have two users: applmgr and oracle they belong to their own groups (oracle and applmgr).
    I have to define any other users/groups?

    No, make sure that users are part of the dba group and this group is the default.

    All the installation notes say that we define oracle and applmgr, users

    Configure the users before you start RapidWiz.

    but there are other places that speak of the user applications, what I create user APPS as well?

    No, it will be created for you as part of the installation.

    That's what I have now:

    Oracle id # [root@localhost etc]
    UID = 501 (Oracle) gid = 501 (oracle) groups = 501 (oracle)

    [root@localhost etc] # id applmgr
    UID = 502 (applmgr) gid = 502 (applmgr) groups = 502 (applmgr)

    so I can't do the reinstall, I think that, first of all, I should start with steps in cleanup notes 169402.1

    These two users should be sufficient. For the cleaning of your previous installation failed, simply follow the steps outlined in the document.

    Kind regards

  • Post installation check fails - login page - r12 w2k3

    Hi all

    Before this ad here I did research this and other forums for the solution, but found no one. After getting through the steps of installation, it fails on the post installation check. Everything is fine except for the login page.

By following the instructions in the installation guide, I'm going to My Oracle Support, then to patches and updates, and specify the database Oracle and IBM AIX 64-bit.
