10.Select the interface for oracle VM server management.
11.Enter the Static IP and Netmask for oracle VM server.
12.Specify the Gateway . If you don’t have one ,just leave it blank and proceed. I don’t need to specify gateway since all the servers are in same network.

14.Select the timezone according to your region.
15.Enter the ovs-agent password.You need to provide this password to connect to OVM manager.

18.Reboot the node once the installation is completed.
19.Remove the DVD and let the system to boot from harddrive. You can see the grub menu before booting the OVS.
