To get round a problem with Oracle Audit Vault Database Firewall appliance not finding the network interface after completing the initial configuration it is necessary to change the type of network of the NIC. The problem is seen when AVDF boots for the first time after the install, a screen is shown for selecting a management interface, even though this has been configured already, the NIC hardware address shows as 00:00:00:00:00:00 instead of the valid address. Dropping to a console and searching for the hardware device shows no Ethernet controller. If there are multiple NICs defined they will all be listed as 00:00:00:00:00:00.
For how to debug audit vault in the console look at http://notastrophe.blogspot.com/2013/06/oracle-audit-vault-database-firewall.html .
The command lspci | grep -i Ether xx shows no results, and ifconfig -a shows eth0 with HWADDR of 00:00:00:00:00:00
To get past this problem its necessary to use Fully Virtualized network configuration in OVM for the initial install. Then after the first reboot (just after the IP Config screen), shutdown the VM and change to Paravirtualized networking. Trying to do the install with Paravirtualized networking will fail because the install detects no interfaces. A Fully Virtualized configuration shows on OVM 2.0 as "ioemu" in the Network Interface column on the Network configuration page, Paravirtualized configuration shows as "netfront".
