Form VirtualBox I do Import Appliance.
and agree the EULA
I get this message:
Could not start the machine OVAB_12.1.2.0.0_Appliance_v1.0 because the following physical network interfaces were not found: en0: Ethernet (adapter 1) You can either change the machine's network settings or stop the machine.
the issue is easily fixed by validating the proposed settings change.
I setup the Linux OS installation (create a "oracle"user). Read the OVAB appliance instructions http://download.oracle.com/otn/nt/middleware/12c/121200/OVAB_12.1.2.0.0_Appliance_v1.0.pdf
Predefined users are ovab/oracle and root/oracle. I do cd /home/ovab/Oracle/Middleware/Oracle_Home and check that the installation is there.
Login as ovab/oracle, cd /home/ovab/bin/, nohup ./startDB.sh &, nohup ./startWLSAdminServer.sh & , ./startOVABStudio.sh 1
