There is only one network interface:

  • eth1 which is a fixed IP address. This is used to connect between the source and target servers and also to the Internet. This IP is 10.0.2.4.

8. Test if the network connection is working. Use Control-C to stop the ping.

9. scp (secure copy) does not work because there is display output in ~oracle/.bashrc file. To fix this:

a. Edit .bashrc in the home directory of oracle

No Format
cd ~oracle
No Format
vi .bashrc

Put a # in front of the following line:

No Format
#cat /u01/oracle/Desktop/readme.txt

Save the .bashrc file and exit out of the file with vi command - :wq!When the machine_setup script has been edited to accept the EULA and the memory parameter adjusted, execute the script. The script takes about 5-10 minutes to execute depending on your host PC. When the script finishes, both the source and target machines should be running and available to log into.


Note

Before running the machine_setup script ensure that these two steps have been completed:

  • Check the Host-only Network Configuration in the Virtual Box settings. If you already had VirtualBox installed, check that you have a Host-only network configured on the host. If this is a fresh install of VirtualBox, check that the Host-only network adapter is configured. Use the Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager GUI, Select File --> Preferences, then in the VirtualBox - Settings window, select Network. In the Network pane, select the Host-only Networks tab and check you have an entry named vboxnet0. If not, click the add host-only network button to add it.
  • If you already have one Host-only Network configuration in the Virtual Box settings, please create a new one eg. vboxnet1 with subnetwork 192.168.56.1 and change the machine_setup script appropriatelly
  • Once added new Host-only Network adapter, please edit the machine_setup.bash script and change vboxnet1 adapter to the one you created


  • Accept the Virtual Box licence agreement: Before running the setup scripts please ensure you alter the script to accept the Virtual Box licence agreement - this is detailed in 03 - Accept the License Agreement

What the script does

Imports the source and target machines into VirtualBox, sets up the Host-only adapter in the network settings, sets up the shared folder drive, sets the snapshot folder and snapshot the machine as a fresh clean starting position that can be returned to if required. The machine_setup scrip will then start both source and target machines.

On Windows

In the %REP_HOME%\Rep Attack 11g XE directory, execute the machine_setup.bat script by double clicking on it. A command prompt window will open and the RepAttack source machine will be configured and started, followed by the target machine.

For example:

On Mac OS X and Linux machines:

Open a Terminal window and change directory to the REP_HOME directory.

Execute the machine_setup.bash script.

bash-3.2$ ./machine_setup.bash
