sudo is Missing in OVM_EM12R2

Overview

During the investigation of Cloud Control Not Starting Automatically in OVM_EM12R2 , I found that the sudo command was not installed in OVM template for EM12C R2 from e-delivery (part no. B70250-01).

Status

Oracle Bug 15860489

Workaround

Use su to create a separate shell.

Diagnosis

Running as root , I used the service --status-all to get the following output:

It would appear the sudo command cannot be found in the VM! I verified this as follows:

find / -name sudo -type f -print

No results were returned!
