Opening The Oracle VM Templates Blackbox
Oracle
VM Templates give you the efficiency of speed and the assurance of no
guess work. For those in the know, Oracle VM Guest Additions is a great
way to empower you to do more interesting things with the Templates.
Today’s blog article is to share the secrets with those who are not content with
just treating Oracle VM Templates as a black box.
Oracle
VM Guest Additions is a set of packages that can be installed on the guest operating
system of a virtual machine running in the Oracle VM environment. These
packages provide the tools to allow bi-directional communication
directly between the Oracle VM Manager and the operating system running
within the virtual machine. OK here’s where the ‘power-user’ part comes
in…. This gives your fine-grained control over the configuration and
behavior of components running within the virtual machine directly from
Oracle VM Manager. You now have the ability to see and direct what goes
on inside your VM from Oracle VM Manager.

Use the template configuration facility to automatically configure virtual machines as they are first started
Send messages directly to a virtual machine to trigger programmed events
Query a virtual machine to obtain information pertaining to previous messages
Enough
of the theory!
