Please follow the step by step approach to install Oracle VM manager 3.4.1 on Oracle Linux 6.5
Step-I
Update host file /etc/hosts file by fully qualified name, as mentioned below. In my case “OVMmanager” is host name.
[root@OVMmanager ~]# vi /etc/hosts 192.168.239.135 OVMmanager.localdomain OVMmanager
Step-II
Perform oracle VM manager prerequisites with the help of “createOracle.sh” script, provided by oracle itself in OVM manager installer.

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:
