In my previous article Adding ASM Disks and Configuration of OS I described to add some ASM Disks and to configure the Oracle Enterprise Linux (OEL) 7.2 to be ready for Oracle RAC 12c. In this article I will describe you a short script to clone the previous create VM to have to identical VMs. This is the third of
- Installation of OEL 7.2
- Add sharable ASM Disk Groups and Configuration of OEL 7.2 to be ready for Oracle Installation
- Cloning the Node two a 2-Node-RAC
- Install the GI software only
- Patch and Configure GI
- Installation of CDB with two PDB
- Summary
Below you will find a small script to clone the files of the previous created VM in order to create a new VM. The main steps of the script are:
- Power-Off and unregister the new VM by deleting all files – if the new VM already exists
- Cloning the two files of the previous created VM
- Create a new VM
- Setting some properties of the VM
- Configure the network of the new VM
- Add one IDE
- Add an empty DVD to IDE controller
- Add one SATA controller
- Add the two cloned files to the SATA Controller
- add all sharable ASM Disks to the SATA Controller
- Start the created VM
