Hello,
I have no background in oracle or anything like it but by some misfortune have been given the task of implementing it for a large greenhouse wholesaler (my work).
Here is my problem currently:
Using the instructions listed here: (cant use links yet)
ww.oracle.com/technology/obe/ovm/ovmel5pvmdb11gr1/ovmel5pvmdb11gr1.htm#.
I have installed Oracle VM server, downloaded the iso for OEL R5 U4 and tried mounting it as instructed.
After the command:
mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop /OVS/iso_pool/Enterprise-R5-U4-Server-i386-dvd.iso /el/EL5-x86
I hit enter and get the following message:
/OVS/iso_pool/Enterprise-R5-U4-Server-i386-dvd.iso: No such file or directory
I downloaded the dvd iso from //edelivery.oracle.com.
I am installing on a dell poweredge 2900 with dual Intel Xeon 3Ghz cpu's and 4gig of ram and yes it has a DVDROM.
Can anyone please explain if I am doing something wrong, I have followed the instructions to the letter and am now stuck here. I am now downloading the file again on an ubuntu machine thinking that oracle might not like the windows version or something, I really have no clue at this point.
Thanks for any help with this issue.

Yes, the instructions actually have me check:
ls -al /el/EL5-x86
But, in the past couple of days messing around with this i have also done the command you gave me:
ls -al /OVS/iso_pool
The line above prints out a couple of lines:
drwxr-xr-r 2 root root 4069 Oct 2 10:27
drwxr-xr-r 0 root root 4069 Oct 5 05:27
Similar lines are printed when I check the /el/EL5-x86

I'm sorry Buddy but you don't have this file really.  For example in my Distr directory I have a iso file of CentOS linux CentOS5_3.iso.
ls -la /home/mike/Distr
total 4376616
drwxrwxr-x 3 mike mike 4096 Oct 5 22:18 .
drwx------ 32 mike mike 4096 Oct 5 23:08 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3971022848 Oct 4 21:41 CentOS5_3.iso
drwxrwxr-x 2 mike mike 4096 Oct 5 22:18 Fedora-11-x86_64-DVD
-rw-rw-r-- 1 mike mike 325922 Oct 5 22:18 Fedora-11-x86_64-DVD.torrent

or
ls -la /home/mike/Distr | grep CentOS
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3971022848 Oct 4 21:41 CentOS5_3.iso
Try to find it

The file is on a DVD, the instructions are trying to put the file in a directory on the Oracle VM server so it can use it later to create a virtual guest.
These are the instructions, I cant post links yet, but if you put "w" in front of this it will take you to the instructions:
ww.oracle.com/technology/obe/ovm/ovmel5pvmdb11gr1/ovmel5pvmdb11gr1.htm#.

Yes, I downloaded the single DVD file, I did not download the 5 CD files.
5. During the installation of the operating system for a paravirtualized machine, the location of the install media can not be changed, thus installing directly from multiple CD ISO files is not possible. Steps 7 through 9 show the steps to create a directory tree of the CD ISO files for installing the operating system.
The install can be made directly from a single ISO file such as the DVD ISO of Enterprise Linux 5. Step 11 shows how to setup the install from a single DVD ISO.
(Skipping steps 6-10 as they are for multiple CD installation)
11. This step is for setting up installation from a single DVD ISO file. If you have multiple CD ISO files skip this step.
mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop /OVS/iso_pool/Enterprise-R5-U1-Server-i386-dvd.iso /el/EL5-x86

Hi,
You have to find your DVD
if it hda (dvdrom -> hda)
then
dd if=/dev/hda of=/OVS/iso_pool/Enterprise-R5-U4-Server-i386-dvd.iso |

I tried your last 2 options and was able to get it to actually open the disk, but when it did it gave the same "no such file or directory" error message.
I know the iso file is on the disk, but being new to Oracle and Linux in general, im not sure if i can download it using windows and winrar and then try to copy it to Oracle. Do I need to try to save this file to the disk some other way?
I have actually made an image with this iso and installed OEL on a test machine, so I know it is working. I just cant get the iso from the DVD to the directory on the server right now.

Before coming to the forums, I tried everything I could think of regarding the disk. I burned the image to the disk
I copied the iso file to the disk zipped
I copied the files to the disk and put them in a folder and renamed it to the file name
I did all sorts of things I knew wouldn't work.
I think what I need is a simple command to copy the files from the disk to the directory on the server. My guide here doesn't mention how to do that and I can't find anywhere on the internet that explains it.
I thought the mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop /OVS/iso_pool/Enterprise.... command did that but apparently it does not.
I just need to know how to get the files from the DVD disk...to...the directory on the server
Burning the iso as a file and not an image wielded the same results, "no such file or directory", I believe the instructions assume the reader carries some knowledge of this and omits the steps to actually copy the contents of the dvd to the server directory.

I found this line on some other forums:
cp /dev/dvd /OVS/iso_pool
This allows me to copy the contents of the DVD to the directory, but I don't know if it will keep the file in a .ISO format so i can use it later to create a virtual guest.
I'll keep you updated and thanks for your patience thus far.
