Download V46550-01 from http://edelivery.oracle.com/oraclevm
choose Oracle VM and x86_64 bit
Open Oracle VirtualBox, create a new VM , call it "oraclevmserver" , Type = Other, version = Other/unknown (64bit), base memory 8 GB, "do not add a virtual drive", remove all the Storage Controllers and add CD/DVD device and point it to the downloaded ISO file. (see here http://oracle-base.com/articles/vm/virtualbox-creating-a-new-vm.php for some more hints). Add also an hard disk "oraclevmsserverdisk" with 12 GB , type VDI, dynamically allocated storage.

select DHCP (NB OVS needs STATIC IP!!! FIX THIS!!! )
![]()
at the end of the (hopefully) successful installation, just reboot (don't worry about the ISO DVD, it was automatically ejected by the anaconda installer I believe). You should get this happy and peaceful screen:
![]()
NEXT STEP: do the same operation but assign a static IP and a hostname
