Installing OBIEE 11.1.1.7.0 fails when starting the managed server – b1_server1

I'm trying to
install OBIEE 11.1.1.7.0 and the managed OBIEE server – b1_server1
– was always failing causing the install to fail. After several attempts and double checking all the
system parameters it was still continually getting stuck and unable to
start the managed server. The only error I could find is this:
Stopping Derby Server... Starting AdminServer Starting the domain ... progress in calculate progress1 Executing Task: Starting Managed Server: bi_server1 oracle.as.install.bi.wls.ServerLifeCycleException: Failed to achieve state RUNNING in 3600seconds.

One time when it was
stuck trying to start the managed server, I decided to checked the
entropy and noticed that it was low.
[root@beast-wls-au ~]# cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail 157 [root@beast-wls-au ~]# cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail 141 [root@beast-wls-au ~]# cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail 132 [root@beast-wls-au ~]# cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail 183 [root@beast-wls-au ~]# cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail 173 [root@beast-wls-au ~]# cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail 149
As soon as I ran rngd to increase entropy pool, the managed server started and continued to install.
[root@beast-wls-au ~]# rngd -r /dev/urandom -o /dev/random -f -t 1 & [root@beast-wls-au ~]# [root@beast-wls-au ~]# [root@beast-wls-au ~]# cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail 3526 [root@beast-wls-au ~]# cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail 3605 [root@beast-wls-au ~]#
I'll have to look
into an entropy generator to avoid this issue in the future.
I installed OBIEE
11.1.1.7.0 on OEL6_u6 which sit inside OVS 3.3.2
