Log onto the VM through the VirtualBox console which will be shown when the VM has started.
The username is root and the password is oracle
1. When logged onto the desktop, right click and click on "Open Terminal" to bring up the terminal.
2. In the terminal edit /etc/sysconfig/network
and change to:
NETWORKING=yes NETWORKING_IPV6=no HOSTNAME=source
3. Edit /etc/hosts and add the following two hosts entries
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs # that require network functionality will fail. 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost ::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6 10.1.1.10 source-int source dbv01 10.1.1.11 target-int target dbv02
4. Set the network address for eth1
cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts vi ifcfg-eth1
Change the settings to the following
# Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] 79c970 [PCnet32 LANCE] DEVICE=eth1 BOOTPROTO=none ONBOOT=yes HWADDR=08:00:27:19:c2:f8 IPADDR=10.1.1.10 NETMASK=255.255.255.0
5. Restart the network interface
[root@source network-scripts]# /etc/init.d/network restart
Shutting down interface eth0: [ OK ]
Shutting down interface eth1: [ OK ]
Shutting down loopback interface: [ OK ]
Bringing up loopback interface: [ OK ]
Bringing up interface eth0:
Determining IP information for eth0... done.
[ OK ]
Bringing up interface eth1:
6. View the network interface
[root@source network-scripts]# ifconfig

There are 2 network interfaces:
a) eth0 which is a DHCP address so that a connection can be made from the host computer (your laptop). In this case the IP is 10.0.0.20
b) eth1 which is a fixed IP address. This is used to connect between the source and target servers. This IP is 10.1.1.10
7. scp (secure copy) does not work because there is display output in ~oracle/.bashrc and ~oracle/.bash_profile.
To fix this:
a) Edit .bashrc in the home directory of oracle
cd ~oracle vi .bashrc
Put a # in front of the following lines:
#cat ~/Desktop/README.txt #/sbin/ifconfig | grep "inet addr"
b) Edit .bash_profile in the home directory of oracle
cd ~oracle vi .bash_profile
Put a # in front of the following lines:
#echo IP Address is: #/sbin/ifconfig | grep "inet addr"
