How to Mount a Shared Folder into a VM on Oracle VM VirtualBox

Prerequisites: Vbox Additions must be installed. You can found the installation guide here.

Click "Setting" on the Oracle VM VirtualBox Interface
Navigate to "Shared Folder" tab.
Add a shared folder. You need to specify the path of the folder and the name of the folder you calling it.
Start your Linux VM and open a terminal session as root user.
```
su root
```
Make a directory in "/media/" directory called "delivery".
```
mkdir delivery
```
Execute "mount -t vboxsf "
```
mount -t vboxsf Desktop /media/delivery
```

The screenshots given below will walk you through the process.

Useful Linux Commands
Given below are useful commands that may be useful to you when you are copying over files.

To copy an entire directory:

cp -r pathToDir

To change owner and group of an entire directory:

chown -Rf owner:group

To change file permissions:

chmod
E.g. chmod 777 myfile

The first number is the permission for the file owner.
The second number is the permission for group.
The third number is the permission for other users.
4 = read
2 = write
1 = execute

#	Permission
7	full
6	read and write
5	read and execute
4	read only
3	write and execute
2	write only
1	execute only
0	none

Vbox Additions Installation for Oracle Linux on Oracle VM VirtualBox

Overview
Vbox Additions offer many features such as shared clipboard, generic host/guest communication channels, and shared folders between host and guest. Click here for all the features.

Installing Oracle Linux on Oracle VM VirtualBox

Overview
This guide shows you how to install Oracle Linux 6.3 as a Virtual Machine (VM) using Oracle VM VirtualBox. Installing enterprise Oracle software such as Oracle DB, Oracle Identity Manager (OIM), or BI Publisher on a VM have several advantages. Oracle VM VirtualBox allows you to take snapshots of your VM. Snapshot saves the current state of your machine at the time you take it. Typically, I take snapshots when patching OIM, performing any test operations that may corrupt my OIM, or saving a good state point. Also, you can make clones of your VMs. A good scenario is when you successfully installed Oracle DB. Make a clone out of that since you might want one VM to have OIM 11g R1 and the other OIM 11g R2 or some other enterprise Oracle software later on.

Prerequisites

Install Oracle VM VirtualBox. The download link can be found here.
Download the Linux ISO file here. You must have an Oracle account to get the files. Making an Oracle account is free.

Creating OIM 11.1.1.5.0 Schema

Prerequisites

OIM Schema Creation
Repository Creation Utility (11.1.1.5.0) Download
File: ofm_rcu_linux_11.1.1.5.0_disk1_1of1.zip
There is only a 32-bit version of the Repository Creation Utility file.

Unzip the file. A "rcuHome" directory should be created for you. Navigate into "rcuHome/bin" and execute the rcu script.

If you get the following error below do the following:

Modify the rcu script. Give yourself write permissions for this file.
Change the "JRE_DIR" variable to the path of your jre.
E.g. JRE_DIR=/home/oracle/java/jrockit64/jre
Execute rcu
