OVM Install from the Start

Intro

Got stuck last time with no IPs allocated to the VMs and could not boot them

Drop Old Tables

DROP TABLE "MGR_ABCSTORE";

DROP TABLE "MGR_ACTIONENGINEPROPERTIES";
DROP TABLE "MGR_ACTIONMANAGER";
DROP TABLE "MGR_ARCHIVEMANAGER";

DROP TABLE "MGR_DISCOVERENGINEPROPERTIES";
DROP TABLE "MGR_DISCOVERMANAGER";

DROP TABLE "MGR_VNICMANAGERPROPERTIES";
DROP TABLE "ODOF_ID_TO_TYPE";
DROP TABLE "ODOF_NOT_TABLED";

DROP TABLE "ODOF_TYPE_TO_CLASS";

Now restore the database:

$ imp ovs/xxxx file=/var/ovm/ovs_20110922_201611.dmp full=y

So have just dropped the OVM tables and done a restore of the DB taken just after the last installation.

Then restarted the Oracle VM Manager service:

$ service ovmm start

and a few minutes later the application was available again.

I will now rebuild the vmserver and see where that leads...
