How to install libvirt package in OVM Server 3.x

karthiksingh_dba

We're trying to follow the link https://blogs.oracle.com/scoter/post/how-to-migrate-oracle-vm-to-oracle-linux-kvm

As per Oracle Document Id 2624531.1 and above link it is mentioned that "libvirt" package to be installed and enabled in both OVM Host and OLVM.

Our question or error we face is we cannot install libvirt package in OVM Server,

[[email protected] yum.repos.d]# yum install libvirt

http://yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleVM/OVM3/3x_latest/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] problem making ssl connection

Trying other mirror.

Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: ovm3x_x86_64_latest. Please verify its path and try again

Thanks for your valuable time and response. Much appreciated in Advance!

Hi ,

Suspecting the issue with your repo configuration.

Move all old repos to backup directory and place only this repo .

Yum clean all

Then try to install.

rm -rf ovm.repo is the command used to remove the complete repo file.

In addition we would like to know one more thing.

Oracle VM Server/dom0 host is having el6 and we don't see the "libvirt" rpm or public yum for el6.

In this case how does it goes through?

[[email protected] ~]# uname -r

HI

baseurl=https://yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleVM/OVM3/3x_latest/x86_64/

The above path doesn't have the required package,

# yum-config-manager --enable ol7_latest

yum install oracle-ovirt-release-el7
