Oracle VDI on Linux


Oracle VDI Differences: Oracle Linux to Oracle Solaris

• No PC Smart Card Services– Sun Ray PC/SC lite

• No ZFS• License Price


Oracle VDI 3.4Since May 2012


Oracle VDI 3.4 – New Storage Enhancements

New


More on Cloning (1/2) ZFS cloning – Virtual Box cloning

• ZFS cloning is storage bound:– Supports ZFS appliance only (or DIY Solaris/ZFS)– Supports any hypervisor with iSCSI– Every desktop owns disk-volume, owns iSCSI tgt.– Lot's of (hidden) storage management

• Virtual Box cloning is hypervisor bound:– Supports Virtual Box only– Supports any storage– Every desktop own disk-file– No storage management


More on Cloning (2/2)Example Configurations with Sun ZFS Appliance

Which cloning do you choose ? ZFS cloning – Virtual Box cloning

• You can not choose: it is done for your upon creation of the Desktop Provider and Storage option.

• Automatic and Final (you can't migrate to another)

• Support Matrix:

Sun ZFS Appliance Linked Cloning Sparse Cloning

Generic iSCSI storage Linked Cloning Unsupported

Network File System Linked Cloning Linked Cloning

More on Virtual Box CloningLinked Cloning

• Works on file system level• ZFS Appliance and General iSCSI:

– block devices– needs file system layer for linked cloning

Generic iSCSI storage Linked Cloning OCFS2

Network File System Linked Cloning NFS, other Network FS's

Local Storage Linked Cloning Ext3, other Local FS's


Oracle VM Virtual Box Local storageBuilt in Desktop Provider

• Local storage is a Local directory on the Virtual Box host• Not shared between the virtualization hosts

• Only one Local storage is possible such as:– 2nd disk mounted on /vdipool– or RAID configuration mounted on /vdipool

• Can not mix with other storage types• Directory name can be any name

Oracle VDI Installation on Linux


Easy Linux Installation: Oracle VDI 3.4.1for a small POC or Test Lab

• Hardware choices– OL / Red Hat compatible– Enough Memory– Fast Disks greater than 7200 RPM– 1 Gigabit Network Interface

• Oracle Linux 5.7– Disable OL Firewall– Disable OL Scurity Enhanced Linux– # who -r (check run-level 5)– Registration public Oracle Yum Server for addon OL Packages

• # cd /etc/yum.repos.d• # wget wget http://public-yum.oracle.com/public-yum-el5.repo• edit public-yum-el5.repo enabled=1 ol5_u7_base• # yum update → Attention is OL 5.8 – not supported



• Installation Sun Ray Firmware OS first– # unzip sros_<version>– # cd sros_11.0.1.0– # ./utfwinstall

• Installation Oracle VDI 3.4.1– # unzip vda_<version>_linux– # cd vda_3.4.1_linux– # ./vda-install

• Checking needed Open Source Packages – Yum• New Oracle VDI Center

• Test with Oracle Virtual Desktop Client on PC– Should see VDI Login and Password



• Configuration Oracle VDI 3.4.1– http://vdiserver1.fritz.box:1800– User: root Password: *****– Connecting ADS Diretory Server

• First Simple Auth. for Testing• Later Acitive Directory with Kerberos Auth.

– /etc/krb5.conf– Use an example file

– Connecting VirtualBox and Storage• Administration Sun Ray Software

– http://vdiserver1.fritz.box:1660– User: root Password: *****

• Base Installation finished– Look in VDI Quickstart White Paper for next Steps

Oracle Virtual Desktop Client on an USB Stick


Why OVDC (Sun Ray) on a bootable USB Stick?

• Migration of an old PC Infrastructure• Simple use• High Security• Mobility• Fast boot• Inexpensive

– Build your own Thin Client• Interesting for VDI Partners

– Build your own Thin Client– Sun Ray Features– Smart Card Support
