Lab Environment Preparation Chapter 1 - Page 2 Part 1: Installing the Base System Overview Most Oracle courses assume that you have a pre-built environment available, with a number of tools already installed. But in some cases this course will be taught in custom environments and then all the basic setup needs to be done by the student. Using the instructions below, you will create a base system to be used in many Oracle courses. Pre-requisites Using Different Operating Systems on Your Host Machine The instructions assume that you are using Windows on your host machine. But since Oracle VM VirtualBox can be used on several platforms, it is possible to instead use OS X, Linux or Solaris. But no matter which platform you are using on your host machine, you need to have administration privileges. Enabling Virtualization Technology in Your BIOS To effectively use your hardware in a virtual machine, it is recommended that you enable the virtualization technology features in the BIOS of your machine. This is done differently for different hardware, so you have to find out how to do this on your own. You will probably find this information on the internet by searching for “Enable Virtualization Technology in BIOS” plus the name of your laptop, for example “Dell Latitude” or “Lenovo Thinkpad”.

Lab Environment Preparation Chapter 1 - Page 3 Preparation 1-1: Downloading Oracle Enterprise Linux Overview In this practice you will download Oracle Enterprise Linux (OEL). Tasks Downloading Oracle Enterprise Linux Since websites are often changed, the instructions below might differ slightly from the way the site looks at the moment. But the process should be very similar. 1. Open a browser and go to http://edelivery.oracle.com/linux. The Welcome to the Oracle® E-Delivery Web site for Enterprise Linux and Oracle VM screen appears. 2. Click Continue. The Registration screen appears. 3. Fill out the registration form and accept the license terms and export restrictions. 4. Click Continue. The Media Pack Search screen appears. 5. In the Select a Product Pack field, select Oracle Linux. 6. In the Platform field, select x86 64 bit. 7. Click Go. The list of available media packs is displayed. 8. Click the latest release of the Enterprise Linux media pack. At the time of writing, this was Oracle Linux Release 6 Update 4 Media Pack for x86_64 (64 bit). The Oracle Linux Release 6 Update 4 Media Pack for x86_64 (64 bit) screen appears. 9. Find the installation package. At the time of writing, the name of this package was Oracle Linux Release 6 Update 4 for x86_64 (64 Bit). 10. Click the Download button in front of the installation package. 11. Save the file to your computer. Note: Depending on the browser used, this is done in different ways. 12. The file is called V37084-01.iso, which is a name that can be hard to remember. Rename the file to a better name, for example: OEL-R6-U4-x86_64.iso. Summary You have now downloaded the installation package for Oracle Enterprise Linux.

Lab Environment Preparation Chapter 1 - Page 5 Preparation 1-3: Creating VM in Oracle VM VirtualBox Overview A good strategy for testing new products or doing labs is to use a virtual machine. This way, nothing has to be installed directly on your machine. Everything will be sandboxed in a “computer inside your computer”. These instructions help you create a virtual machine (VM) in Oracle VM VirtualBox. In the instructions below, it is assumed that you have enough space on your hard drive and that you want to save the files for the VM in the directory C:\VMs\VBox\OEL64. Tasks Creating the VirtualBox Virtual Machine (VM) 1. Start VirtualBox. 2. In the toolbar, click New. The Create Virtual Machine Wizard starts and the Name and operating system screen appears. 3. In the Name field, enter OEL64. 4. In the Type field, select Linux. 5. In the Version field, select Oracle (64 bit) and click Next. The Memory size screen appears. 6. Set the memory size to 2048 and click Next. The Hard drive screen appears. 7. Click Create. The Hard drive file type screen appears. 8. Click Next. The Storage on physical hard drive screen appears. 9. Click Next. The File location and size screen appears. 10. In the Location field, enter C:\VMs\VBox\OEL64\OEL64. 11. In the Size field, enter 24 GB and click Create. A new virtual machine, with the name of OEL64, appears in the list
