Overview
Oracle is very strict when it comes to using their software on virtualization software. If you want to license only part of your VM setup, the only option available is to use Oracle VM. But setting up and managing an Oracle VM farm is no sinecure. Fortunately using our ovm_config
Puppet module, the process of setting up, adding and removing VM's and another setup, has become very easy.
This module allows you to manage averything there is to manage in an Oracle VM setup. For example you can manage: VM pools, repositories, VM's and Virtual disks. Using this module you can create a puppet description of your Oracle VM setup and manage it like a pro.
