I needed a special package on my OVM Server 3.4.6.
\nThe package is called fio<\/a> and is needed to do some I\/O performance tests.
\nUnfortunately, OVM Server does not provide any package for compiling software and installing additional software to your OVM Server is also not supported.
\nBut there is a solution:
\n
\nInsatll a VM with Oracle VM Server 3.4.6 and added the official OVM SDK repositories:<\/p>\n


\nrm -f \/etc\/yum.repos.d\/*
\necho '
\n[ovm34]
\nname=Oracle Linux $releasever Latest ($basearch)
\nbaseurl=http:\/\/public-yum.oracle.com\/repo\/OracleVM\/OVM3\/34_latest\/x86_64\/
\ngpgkey=file:\/\/\/etc\/pki\/rpm-gpg\/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle
\ngpgcheck=1
\nenabled=1
\n[ol6_latest]

\nname=Oracle Linux $releasever Add ons ($basearch)
\nbaseurl=http:\/\/yum.oracle.com\/repo\/OracleLinux\/OL6\/addons\/$basearch\/
\ngpgkey=file:\/\/\/etc\/pki\/rpm-gpg\/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle
\ngpgcheck=1
\nenabled=1
\n[ol6_UEKR4]
\nname=Latest Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 4 for Oracle Linux $releasever ($basearch)
\nbaseurl=http:\/\/yum.oracle.com\/repo\/OracleLinux\/OL6\/UEKR4\/$basearch\/
\ngpgkey=file:\/\/\/etc\/pki\/rpm-gpg\/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle
\ngpgcheck=1
\nenabled=1 ' > \/etc\/yum.repos.d\/ovm-sdk.repo
\n<\/code>
\nNow install the necessary packages and compile your software:
\n
\nOn OVM 3.4 SDK VM
\nyum install -y gcc make zlib-devel libaio libaio-devel
\nwget https:\/\/codeload.github.com\/axboe\/fio\/zip\/master
\nunzip master
\ncd fio-master
\n.\/configure
\nmake
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

Copy the compiled executable “fio” to your OVM Server or to an attached NFS share.
\nRun the program and do what you wanna do.<\/p>\n

In my case I will run several different performance tests, but that is a story for an other blog post.<\/p>\n
