Oracle Support on VMWare / Virtualized environment

Oracle does not support Oracle Products installed on VMware as Oracle has not certified any of its products on VMware virtualized environments.

If the issue does not occur in a non-virtual deployment, you will be referred to work with VM Product Company.

Reset a forgotten admin password on OVD

Go to OVD_HOME\conf and open server.os_xml

Find the <rootUser> node and replace with following

<rootUser>
<name>cn=admin</name>
<password>{SSHA}qLzLcgk/WLpCE6Z72OmQ7zXfCp4nTvj7</password>
</rootUser>


This will set cn=admin and password as "secret" for super User.
