Issues with OVM 3.3.1 and FreeNAS

2745986Sep 27 2014 — edited Oct 5 2014

Hi all!

First, I'll preface this about being the riverboat pilot who was hired simply because he admitted he had hit every sand bar, shoal, stump, and obstacle on the Might Mississippi-because I feel like that right now...

I'm no Linux newbie, and I have gotten quite good at VirtualBox-especially in a headless format. But, I am a total beginner when it comes to Oracle VM for x86.

I set up a training lab in order to gain experience for an upcoming development suite. I have one Dell R610 with a 1TB hard drive running Oracle VM for x86 version 3.3.1. Two other Dell R610;s are running Ubuntu server 14.04 as a headless VirtualBox. One of them runs the Oracle VM Manager with Oracle Linux 6.5. The other headless VirtualBox runs the latest FreeNAS as a VM with a 425GB "drive" configured as an iSCSI target.

The Oracle VM Server and Oracle VM Manager are both 3.3.1.

So far, this is what works:

1.) The Oracle VM Manager has control of the single Oracle VM server.

2.) I have a repository established with about 6 iso's available. The repo is on the physical drive of the Oracle VM server.

3.) I have connected to the iSCSI target and it shows the correct size.

However, I am showing 0 bytes available and 0 bytes free from this and I have no clue. Also, my first time trying to install a VM was a total failure.

Because I am doing this at another location, everything is on the same subnet with no separation with vlan's. This entire setup is to learn and gain experience prior to the development suite.

I have no idea what I am doing wrong. Are there precise steps to on how to set this all up. The Oracle documentation is pretty good so far-compared to some of the appliances I installed on the headless VirtualBox servers.

I am including two pictures showing the iSCSI results. I have teamviewer installed if anyone would like to touch base with me on this.

Regards,

James
