Hello. Welcome to this presentation which provides you some essential concepts about,
and a demonstration showing how to create a Referenced File Location in Oracle Enterprise
Manager Cloud Control. Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control includes
a software library feature for storing virtual machine - VM - templates and assemblies - also
called virtual appliances. The Cloud Administrator is responsible for
configuring referenced file locations. Privileges for this configuration are granted by default
to the cloud administrator, but not the self service administrator, nor the self service
user. Three different types of locations are supported:
HTTP, NFS, and OMS Agent. To create a referenced file location for an
HTTP server, include the name of the location used in Oracle Enterprise Manager. The Location
provided must be a URL that includes the protocol - HTTP or HTTPS - the full name of the server,
the port if necessary, and the path to the directory on the server where the templates
and assemblies are stored. Create a referenced file location for an NFS
server by providing a name and the fully qualified name of the NFS server. The full path to the
directory where assemblies and templates are stored must be input to the Location.
The OMS Agent type of referenced file location requires a name, fully qualified name of the
host running the agent, and the location as specified in the full directory path to the
location where templates and assemblies are stored.
Next, create an HTTP Referenced File Location for the software library, see how to edit
it, then remove it. In this session, I'm logged with an administrator
based on the Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Administrator role. To create a Referenced
File Location for the Software Library, navigate from the Set up menu... to Provisioning and
Patching.... then to Software Library. After the Software Library Administration
page appears, click the Referenced File Locations tab. The Referenced Files Location list appears.
I have obscured locations in this demonstration, however all locations in this demonstration
are HTTP. Click on the Storage Type menu selection to
see the three types of storage supported: HTTP, NFS, and Agent. Leave HTTP as the selected
type. Click Add. The dialog box inputs that appear
are for an HTTP location. Here, enter the name of the location: Oracle DB 19c. The location
stores some different templates for creating Oracle Databases.
The URL to this location is in the paste buffer, so paste it into the Location input.
Click OK. The new location appears on the list.
Close the status message that appears. To edit the location, select the record on
the list and click Edit. The edit location dialog box appears. Only
the name can be changed, when editing a location. Keep the current value and click Cancel.
To remove a location from the list, select the record on the list and click Migrate and
Remove. When the confirmation dialog box appears, click Remove.
The Referenced File Location list returns with a status message confirming the removal
of the location. In this presentation, you received an overview
of the Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Software Library Referenced File Location
feature. And you saw how to create, edit, and remove a Referenced File Location.
This ends the presentation. Thank you for watching.
