Please follow the step by step approach to install Oracle VM manager 3.4.1 on Oracle Linux 6.5

Step-II

Perform oracle VM manager prerequisites with the help of “createOracle.sh” script, provided by oracle itself in OVM manager installer.

      Have you edit your host file with fully qualified domain name? (As mentioned in my post)
      Provide fully qualified domain name to continue.

          • I installed Oracle VM Manager 3.4 on top of RHEL 6. I recreated the RHEL 6 virtual machine and currently installing oracle vm manager. By the way, where is the installation logs are located at?

          • Hello John,
            As per our email conversation, you open ticket with oracle support and according to them, error may have occurred because you created a virtual server from a template. The virtual server may have Web logic app and a domain tree already exists. I would request you to revert with solution so others will be benefited.

            Error in log file:
            EDT Jun 30 09:11:00.416 ovm.installer.util DEBUG Already in Domain Config Tree
