I am upgrading my OVM 2.2 Server and Manager components to 3.0.1
First of all, there is no clean upgrade path for the OVM Manager or Servers. You have to install new and then import your existing Virtual Servers as well as all VM Templates and resources.
My existing environment included 2 OVM 2.2 servers running on 2 x 8GB AMD x4 955’s and 1 OVM Manager running on OEL5 32 bit VirtualBox image.
Step 1
Install new OVM 3.01 manager on OEL 5.5 64 Linux or higher. I built this using VirtualBox running on my Winders7 AMD x6 8GB RAM system. The base architecture of the manager has changed from a simple OC4J based application server to a full Oracle Weblogic 11g using ADF framework. Needless to say, it need a bunch more resources.
VirtualBox Configuration:
OEL 5 update 5 64bit
4096GB RAM
35GB Disk
1 cpu core
The Network mode on the VirtualBox needed to be “Bridged” using an additional wireless USB adapter. This was due to the Manager needing to actuall be on the internal home network (pingable) as well as the OVM Manager needs to be able to access the NAS mounts for repository setup.

Oracle VM Manager installation complete
Next you need to make sure you have your existing Repository backed up or stored on NAS somewhere. This is because during the upgrade / migration, you will need to import your existing VMs.
Put in the 3.0.1 DVD and follow the 3 minute installation procedure basically just adding your hostname and IP address.
After completion you should have a generic 1 to 2 ethernet server that is capable of hosting your VMs
