If you have to update multiple VM servers with every release, doing installation using pxe server becomes easier. To get oracle vm server installed using pxe ..

Requirement
PXE Server
Oracle VM Server 3.0.2

Download & Mount OracleVM-Server.iso
mount -o loop /storage/os/OracleVM-Server-3.0.2.iso cd/

Create folder to store oracle vm files.
mkdir -p /tftpboot/images/oraclevm/

Copy required files to oraclevm folder under pxe.
cp cd/isolinux/mboot.c32 /tftpboot/images/oraclevm/
cp cd/isolinux/initrd.img /tftpboot/images/oraclevm/
cp cd/isolinux/vmlinuz /tftpboot/images/oraclevm/
cp cd/isolinux/xen.gz /tftpboot/images/oraclevm/

append following lines in /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default

LABEL ovs3
     kernel images/oraclevm/mboot.c32
     append images/oraclevm/xen.gz --- images/oraclevm/vmlinuz --- images/oraclevm/initrd.img
