If you use an Oracle database for your vCenter Server repository, you must configure your database to work with vCenter Server.
1 | When you use an Oracle database with vCenter Server, the database must have certain table spaces and privileges. To simplify the process of creating the database, you can run a script. If you do not use this script, you can create the database manually. |
2 | If you plan to use an Oracle database when you install vCenter Server, you must configure the database user. |
3 | The vCenter Server installer creates the schema automatically during installation. For experienced database administrators who need more control over schema creation due to environmental constraints, you can optionally use a script to create your database schema. |
4 | VMware recommends that the vCenter Server database be located on the same system as vCenter Server. |
5 | A vCenter Server system can access the database remotely. |
6 | A vCenter Server system can access the database locally. |
