5. Oracle VM Manager console

To enable the console button in Oracle VM Manager, the following rpms need to be installed depending on which
browser you use to access Oracle VM Manager.

The rpms are located at http://oss.oracle.com/oraclevm/manager/RPMS

If you use a Mozilla/Firefox browser on Linux, download the ovm-console rpm and install it on the machine where
your browser is running:

# rpm -i ovm-console-1.0.0-2.i386.rpm (if on an x86 browser)

or
# rpm -i ovm-console-1.0.0-2.x86_64.rpm (if on an x86-64 browser)

This installs an ovm-console plugin into your browser.

If you are not using a Mozilla browser or are not using a browser from Linux (e.g. you are using a browser on
Windows), download and install the tightvnc-java rpm on the host running Oracle VM Manager:

# rpm -i tightvnc-java-1.3.9-1.noarch.rpm
