Long story short, I've done a tech refresh on my home lab and I'm converting from VMware ESXi to Oracle VM Server. I've run into a few snags with the install process, but I've managed to install the VM Server on an Asus RS400-E8-PS2 (dual Xeon 2560v3 w/ 64GB RAM) and VM Manager on a separate x86_64 host with Oracle Linux 6. The end game is to get VM Manager onto my VM Server as a virtual machine; however, because I've noticed that there is no way to directly access a VM on VM Server like I can with ESXi, I'm moving a little on the slow side to ensure everything works as expected.
This is where I get into my issue. My VM Manager host will stop the ovmm service after some time of being started. I can start the service with no issues using "/sbin/service ovmm start" and I can utilize the web portal for some time after the service has been started. However, after some undetermined amount of time, the ovmm service will stop and I won't know unless I try to go to the web portal and I get an "unable to connect" error from my browser.
This leads me down one of two roads:
1. Does anyone know why this is happening or if there are any logs I can look into to see if I can find why the ovmm service stops.
2. Because I've seen some information about VM Server being application aware, will this situation get cleared up by making VM Manager a VM on VM Server?
Any help would be much appreciated.
