Wenn Sie einen Oracle Datenbank Server auf VMware ESX betreiben, sollten Sie die VMware Tools nicht untersch\u00e4tzen. Sie sind nicht nur sinnvoll bei Copy-Paste-Aktionen oder f\u00fcr bessere Grafiken, sondern liefern ebenfalls High-Performance-Network, Storage Adapter (PVSCI), Treiber, etc.<\/p>\n

Auf Linux Guests m\u00fcssen die Tools mit dem Kernel zusammen kompiliert werden. Besonders auf Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 Upgrade 6 gibt es ein Problem: OEL 5.6 und OEL 6.0 nutzen den neuen Oracle Unbreakable Kernel 2.6.32-100. Wenn Sie mit dem Problem konfrontiert sind, haben Sie sicher folgenden Forum-Eintrag gelesen: http:\/\/communities.vmware.com\/message\/1693229<\/a><\/p>\n

Mit den L\u00f6sungsvorschl\u00e4gen, den Unbreakable Kernel zu deaktivieren oder auf OEL 5.5 herunterzustufen (Downgrade auf 0815 2.6.18 Red Hat Kernel), war ich aber unzufrieden.<\/p>\n

Mittels YUM k\u00f6nnen Sie das RPM package kernel-devel installieren, aber das Skript vmware-install.pl bringt eine Fehlermeldung, dass die “C header files” des Linux-Kernel fehlen.
\n“What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel?”<\/p>\n

Tja, dies hat einen ganz einfachen Grund: Der Kernel heisst wirklich kernel-uek , siehe unten :=)
\nroot@obs-p01 ~]# yum list | grep kernel
\n...<\/code><\/p>\n

kernel.x86_64\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 2.6.18-238.el5\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 installed
\nkernel-uek.x86_64\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 2.6.32-100.26.2.el5\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 installed<\/strong>
\nkernel-uek-firmware.noarch\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 2.6.32-100.26.2.el5\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 installed
\nkernel-uek-headers.x86_64\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 2.6.32-100.26.2.el5\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 installed<\/code><\/p>\n

Das RPM Package kernel-devel entspricht dem Red Hat kernel 2.6.18 und nicht dem Oracle UEK Kernel.<\/p>\n

Mit folgender Zeile l\u00e4sst sich das Problem fixen:
\n# yum install kernel-uek-devel<\/p>\n

Danach lassen sich die VMware Tools problemlos installieren Laughing<\/p>\n

P.S.: Passen Sie aber gut auf, Oracle ist auf ESX Server “supported” aber nicht “zertifiziert”! D. h. bei neuen Problemen m\u00fcssen Sie beweisen, dass dieses Problem auch auf einer nicht-virtualisierten Umgebung auftaucht.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
