Managing the BIOS boot order with Oracle VM Guests
Jeff_JJun 8 2010 — edited Jun 15 2010I have a requirement that needs me to be able to set the order of which Oracle VM boots certain devices.
Specifically, I need to be able to boot PXE first and then have the CD kick in as the next device in the boot order.
When I create a VM guest, I can add PXE as the boot source, and I can also configure the CD. When the VM boots, I see the CD in there as a disk.
However, after I PXE boots first, I then need the VM to continue to boot off CD.
Instead - OVM does not look for other boot sources - so I get a 'no boot record' error. It's like you can only configure OVM to either boot from one device or another. You can't say first boot of that, and then next this.
So basically, I am just wanting to know if it's possible to add some tweaks to vm.cfg so that the system understands the concept of a device boot order.
Cheers,
Jeff
