Mounting a FreeNAS drive on Linux

mount -t cifs //192.168.1.2/backup1 -o username=xxx,password=xxx,uid=0,gid=0 /mnt/backup1

uid/gid are required to allow for full permissions on my share.

How I backup my OVM Repository

--Repository location
[root@hyperfur Repositories]# pwd
/OVS/Repositories


--List of repositories 
[root@hyperfur Repositories]# ls
0004fb0000030000dcf6f0c23eee31af


--Tar zip the repository and save and NFS mount
[root@hyperfur Repositories]# tar -cvzf /FREENAS/hyperfur-repos-070312.tar.gz 0004fb0000030000dcf6f0c23eee31af/


--To untar the file use
tar –xvzf filename.tar.gz

Starting an Oracle VM image from the commandline

Start an Oracle VM image from the command line with:

xm create -c ./vm.cfg 

My VMs are stored on /OVS.  Since all the directory names are generated, to find out the one I want to launch, I use "grep -R <vm name> *.cfg"

Deploying OEM12c Agents on my guest VMs

Using OEM12C my agents wern't deploying from the OEM console.  The agent home was getting created during the "agent manual deploy" option from the console.  So I run this to install/start the agent on my target maching.

./agentDeploy.sh AGENT_BASE_DIR=/opt/oem12c_agentHome  OMS_HOST=192.168.1.105  INVENTORY_LOCATION=/opt/oracle/app/oraInventory AGENT_REGISTRATION_PASSWORD=welcome1 EM_UPLOAD_PORT=7788

To mount an NFS share on OEL5/6

I use this to mount my FreeNAS 8.0.4 NFS share onto my OVM hypervisor for backups:
