It has been released earlier this week, time to move to VMWare ESXi.
My workaround I described here is still working. To make it short, updating the ovf file as below:
1. ovf:capacity=(ovf:capacity*2)-64512 (I used diskMode=thin in the VM disks’ definition for the import)
2. <OperatingSystemSection ovf:id="101">
3. <Description>oracleLinux64Guest</Description>
<vbox:OSType ovf:required="false">oracleLinux64Guest</vbox:OSType>
4. <vssd:VirtualSystemType>vmx-08</vssd:VirtualSystemType>
And the VM starts properly.
Enjoy,
Nicolas.

Hi Nicolas,
Would you mind cross posting this information in the Oracle MOS community for Install, Upgrade, Maintain, & PUM - PSFT (MOSC)?
https://community.oracle.com/community/support/peoplesoft/install_upgrade_-_psft/content?filterID=contentstatus[published]~objecttype~objecttype[thread]
I think other users would find it very helpful.
Thanks,
William
@William, thanks for your comment.

I tried this method on 9.2.011 / 854-08 and it does not appear to work, the VM boots to a kernel panic. Any ideas?
@anonymous, I'm surprised actually you get a Kernel panic. I must admit I did not tested myself on 92011, but I just tried successfully on the newly HCM92012 released last Friday.
Nicolas.
Thanks Nicolas for your hard work.
May I ask you if you may know where it is coming from. Thanks

Just to mention I used the latest VMware release of ovftool 4.1.0 if it matters at all
Hi Michael, thanks for stopping by.
I also recently use ovftool 4.1.0 without any issues.
Pay attention enought to your network name defined in VMWare, it should match the one from your HCMDB-SES-854-08.ovf.
Alternately, you could use a .ovftool file and use a line as below :
net:HostOnly=VM Network
where HostOnly is the current name coming from ovf file delivered by Oracle, and VM Network my own local network name in VMWare ESXi.
HTH,
Nicolas.
Thanks Nicolas,
Both VM Network, and 3BES exist in ESXi network configuration. We use at the moment 5.1, and all attempts I tried within OEL6.6 2.6.32-504.12.2.el6.x86_64 guest. I hoped that Oracle Linux may still work fine with ovftool regardless it was not listed as supported Linux OS in
/usr/lib/vmware-ovftool/README.txt
Both posted ways failed for me:
1. echo "net:HostOnly=VM Network" >> .ovftool

Michael, it would be perhaps easier if you send me an email, most likely faster and safest regarding your local env. security.
Please send HCMDB-SES-854-08.ovf, .ovftool file and screenshots of possible.
Nicolas.
Nicolas,
How would I get your email?
Michael, there's a "contact me" link on the top right of the blog's page.
Nicolas.
