I'm far from an expert, but is your Oracle 6.5 guest HVM or PV?

If HVM, then the rpm will be installed but not available for use or
detected by XenCenter. (And won't do anything useful, for that matter).

AFAIK, both your guests are working in HVM mode.

For PV mode you should change some VM settings, at least like below (my
centos 6.5 pv quests)

HVM-boot-policy ( RW):
PV-bootloader ( RW): pygrub

Why does VM with Windows guest sees xeentools but of VM with Linux guest
not?

Hi Vladimir,

I have a few oracle Linux running on Xenserver 6.2 as PV, and the VMs
are shown as "optimized" in XenCenter. So I guess you have something
wrong with your setup.

Could you please check that you have the process xe-daemon running?

[root@srvora1 ~]# ps -edf | grep xe-daemon
root 961 1 0 Jan24 ? 00:02:07 /bin/bash
/usr/sbin/xe-daemon -p /var/run/xe-daemon.pid

Could you also check that you have the xen modules loaded?

[root@srvora1 ~]# lsmod |grep xen
xenfs 5705 1
xen_netfront 19033 0
xen_blkfront 15495 3

Could you check if you are running PV or HVM?
[root@srvxcp06 ~]# xe vm-param-get
uuid=42c84b1f-7283-0f29-bcb3-c706d0097b3e param-name=PV-bootloader
pygrub

Best wishes,

Denis
