What OS/version is OVM 2.2.2 based on?
We use an Equallogic box for our Oracle VM Repository and it has worked fine for quite a while. We are now getting a second EQL box. When we do that, our volumes will be split between the two devices. This can slow down iscsi access if we don't also install the Dell Host Integration Tools for Linux (and I can explain the reason that Dell gives me if anyone cares). Of course, Dell doesn't support Oracle Virtual Server OVS directly, so I am working on setting it up manually.
In order to do this, we need to install DKMS (dynamic kernel management system) -- or build the kernel modules manually. Either way, I will need to install gcc, etc. on the OVS machines to build the kernel modules.
Can anyone tell me what repository to connect to for gcc, etc? What "base" release is OVS 2.2.2? RedHat/CentOS 5.x where x=?
I am aware that OVM 3.0 also has an SDK to support this, but we aren't ready to upgrade yet. We need more disk space on our SAN in order to get 3.0 up and running in a test environment before we put production there.
Thanks in advance

PS. Change the title of this post to be more indicative of the question. Sorry for any confusion.
