This is what I found after a quick google search, a PDF explaining how to correctly extract the contents of the file.
Looks like there are several files:
OVM_EL5U3_X86_EBIZ12.1.1_DB_VIS_PVM.tgz.0
OVM_EL5U3_X86_EBIZ12.1.1_DB_VIS_PVM.tgz.1
OVM_EL5U3_X86_EBIZ12.1.1_DB_VIS_PVM.tgz.2
OVM_EL5U3_X86_EBIZ12.1.1_DB_VIS_PVM.tgz.3
OVM_EL5U3_X86_EBIZ12.1.1_DB_VIS_PVM.tgz.4
OVM_EL5U3_X86_EBIZ12.1.1_DB_VIS_PVM.tgz.5
OVM_EL5U3_X86_EBIZ12.1.1_DB_VIS_PVM.tgz.6
OVM_EL5U3_X86_EBIZ12.1.1_DB_VIS_PVM.tgz.7
You need to copy all those files to a specific directory, for example /OVS/seed_pool/
. Then run the following commands:
# cd /OVS/seed_pool
# cat OVM_EL5U3_X86_64_EBIZ12.1.1_DB_VIS_PVM.tgz.0 \
OVM_EL5U3_X86_64_EBIZ12.1.1_DB_VIS_PVM.tgz.1 \
OVM_EL5U3_X86_64_EBIZ12.1.1_DB_VIS_PVM.tgz.2 \
OVM_EL5U3_X86_64_EBIZ12.1.1_DB_VIS_PVM.tgz.3 \
OVM_EL5U3_X86_64_EBIZ12.1.1_DB_VIS_PVM.tgz.4 \
OVM_EL5U3_X86_64_EBIZ12.1.1_DB_VIS_PVM.tgz.5 \
OVM_EL5U3_X86_64_EBIZ12.1.1_DB_VIS_PVM.tgz.6 \
OVM_EL5U3_X86_64_EBIZ12.1.1_DB_VIS_PVM.tgz.7 | tar -xz
Note that those are only 2 commands, denoted with the starting #
.
Those commands shall create the following directory structure, with these files inside:
/OVS/seed_pool/OVM_EL5U3_X86_64_EBIZ12.1.1_DB_VIS_PVM
|
|- System.img (OS image file)
|- ebs1211db.img.img (Oracle E-Biz 12.1.1 DB Tier image file)
|- vm.cfg (VM configuration file)
|- README.txt
