Oracle Linux Release 6
Configuring NFS
I used a separate Linux server for this. Yes it did have a DVD-ROM and I did not want to install VM Manager on it.
Create two directories.
mkdir /x01/package /x01/inst
Place OEL6 iso at /x01/package directory.
Unzip it
Now mount it.
mount -ro loop /x01/package/OEL6.iso /media
Copy required files to /x01/inst directory.
cp -ar /media/. /x01/inst/
To setup NFS share, Add following line to /etc/export.
/x01/inst *(ro,sync)
export the directory and restart NFS service.
exportfs -aservice nfs stopservice nfs start
To see the status of the share
showmount -e
NFS share is created. Rest is easy. Boot the machine with OEL boot cd and select the installation method as NFS. Provide NFS IP address and the path (/x01/ins). Installation would be started in no time. After the installation is completed, Oracle VM Manager package can be installed right away. I used FTP to transfer the package.
