Purpose

This article aims to provide readers with fundamental design and storage considerations for configuring (or reconfiguring) an Oracle VM repository. The article is intended for Oracle VM system administrators, particularly those in early stages of Oracle VM testing and deployment.

Scope

Oracle VM provides a flexible infrastructure to manage guest Virtual Machines (VMs) and other resources. Before deploying Oracle VM, however, users should first familiarise themselves with the various product features and capabilities offered. Once deployment requirements are known, appropriate storage and a suitable repository design can be implemented to support the intended configuration.
