This post assumes you already have a working database as described in Converting PeopleSoft OVM Templates to VirtualBox Guests or some other PeopleSoft PT 8.52.03 database. It also assumes that you have the cloned starting point of a base OEL with the OVM functions (steps 1 through 22 from the prior post).
The PeopleTools Image (App, Web, and Prcs)
- Run through steps 1 through 3 as listed here. Notice that step 3 gives the PT image the IP address of 192.168.56.51. Update your network settings and hostname to match the /etc/hosts file and make sure it matches what is in the db image.
- Add the following to psadm2's .bash_profile (/home/psadm2/.bash_profile):
# psft env vars export PS_APP_HOME=/opt/oracle/psft/pt/apptools export PS_CFG_HOME=/home/psadm2/psft/pt/8.52/FSCM912 export ORACLE_BASE=/opt/oracle/psft/pt/oracle-client export ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/11.2.0.x export ORACLE_SID=FSCM912 export TUXDIR=/opt/oracle/psft/pt/bea/tuxedo export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$TUXDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/lib . /opt/oracle/psft/pt/tools/psconfig.sh export PATH=$TUXDIR/bin:$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin export LANG=C
* Special thank you to Nicolas Gasparotto for his Installation Documents. My first handful of times through the script, my app server wouldn't start. I found three issues: TUXDIR, LANG, and PATH. TUXDIR and LANG are both documented in various places on Nicolas's blog.
- We need to copy a few files off the PT OVM system disk. Create a mount point for /dev/sdc2, mount it, and copy the files:
mkdir /tmp/sdc2 mount /dev/sdc2 /tmp/sdc2 cp -R -p /tmp/sdc2/opt/oracle /opt/
- Create the PS_CFG_HOME directory:
mkdir -p /home/psadm2/psft/pt/8.52/FSCM912 chown -R psadm2:oracle /home/psadm2/psft
- Add the tools disk image to /etc/fstab
/dev/sdb1 /opt/oracle/psft/pt ext3 defaults 1 3
- Mount the tools disk:
mount /opt/oracle/psft/pt
- Update the ulimits for Weblogic's sake. Add the following to the end of /etc/security/limits.conf. I copied these values out of the system OVM disk image:
* hard nofile 65536 * soft nofile 65536 * hard nproc 65536 * hard nproc 65536 * hard core unlimited * soft core unlimited * hard memlock 50000000 * soft memlock 50000000
- The scripts will generate an app server domain named APPDOM and a process scheduler domain named PRCSDOM. If that is not preferable to you, then edit /opt/oracle/psft/vm/oraclevm-template-utils.sh. Search for APPSRVDOM=APPDOM AND PRCSDOM=PRCSDOM. Replace APPDOM and PRCSDOM with your preferred values. I just accepted the defaults.
- Run the template script (I ran as root): move into the /opt/oracle/psft/vm directory, export DECOUPLE_USR_GROUP, and run oraclevm-template.sh:
sudo -i cd /opt/oracle/psft/vm export DECOUPLE_USR_GROUP=appinst ./oraclevm-template.sh
- Here is the output my system generated when I ran the script. My answers to prompts are in bold.

Seriously, this was the fastest install ever. I didn't have to install Tuxedo, Oracle client, Weblogic. I didn't have to configure report nodes, pub/sub, etc. The script took care of everything.
Please let me know if you have any questions or notice any omissions in my steps. I tried to document as I was executing them, but you know how that goes...
So what next? I was thinking it would be really cool to run these images in lxc. According to this post, Oracle has all the scripts, etc to run OVM images in lxc. Perhaps it can run the JeOS images created by the PeopleTools team?
