After installing previously VMWare, created a Guest virtual machine, now it's the moment for OS.
OEL 4 update 6 has been downloaded the four CD from http://edelivery.oracle.com
Extract each doanloaded file, then burn them as ISO image on CD.
On the VMWare server, choose the virtual machine which will receive the new OS installation. Insert the first CD and start the virtual machine.
Then, go onto the Console tab :
Nice one, now, follow the instruction as well :
For the network configuration, take care, better to use fixed IP address (click on Edit button) :
You can already allowed the SSH connection :
Choose your root password (at least 6 characters)
To be able to install the VMWare tools easily, you have to add some additional packages :
Add editors if you want :
Add Administration Tools and System Tools :
Insert the following CD when it ask you.Lastly,
The definition screen, important step regarding the VMWare, because I don't need the FullScreen mode, I choose the one which allow me to see all the screen inside the VMWare window.
You have to choose the "default" user and password, the you have the login screen and the OEL desk :
On the VMWare window corresponding to the current virtual machine, then Add VMWare tool. A virtual CD is added on the OEL desk, open it, and install the VMWare tool on the new OS.The VMWare tool allowed you to shut the OS down properly.
Lastly, open a XTerm windows and connect as root :[ngasparotto@orion ~]$ su - root
Password:
[root@orion ~]# vmware-config-tools.pl

The configuration of VMware Tools e.x.p build-63231 for Linux for this running
kernel completed successfully.
You must restart your X session before any mouse or graphics changes take
effect.
You can now run VMware Tools by invoking the following command:
"/usr/bin/vmware-toolbox" during an X server session.
To use the vmxnet driver, restart networking using the following commands:
/etc/init.d/network stop
rmmod pcnet32
rmmod vmxnet
depmod -a
modprobe vmxnet
/etc/init.d/network start
Enjoy,
