14 Review the information displayed on the Pre-Installation Summary screen, and click Install.
The installer starts installing the various components. If the installation is successful, the URL for accessing
the vCenter Chargeback Manager application and the information required to add this installed instance
to the cluster is displayed.
15 Note this information, and click Done.
The administrative account for accessing this instance will be same as the one used by the existing vCenter
Chargeback Manager instance.
Adding a vCenter Chargeback Manager Instance to a Cluster
Installing a vCenter Chargeback Manager cluster instance does not automatically add it to the cluster. You
must manually add a vCenter Chargeback Manager instance to a cluster.
You can add a vCenter Chargeback Manager instance to a cluster by running the ModifyLBWorkers.bat file on
the machine on which the load balancer is installed.
Procedure
1 On the machine on which the load balancer is installed, open a command-line window.
2 Navigate to the \vCenter-CB-Tools\load-balancer\bin directory.
cd Installation_Folder \vCenter-CB-Tools\load-balancer\bin\
where, Installation_Folder is the complete folder path provided during the vCenter Chargeback Manager
installation. The default installation folder is C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware vCenter Chargeback.
3 Run the ModifyLBWorkers.bat file to register the vCenter Chargeback Manager instance with the load
balancer.
ModifyLBWorkers add
Host_IP_Address Load-Balancer_Port Server_Instance_Name
Here, Host_IP_Address is the IP address of the machine on which the new vCenter Chargeback Manager
instance is installed, Load-Balancer_Port is the port through which the vCenter Chargeback Manager
instance communicates with the load balancer, and Server_Instance_Name is the name of the new vCenter
Chargeback Manager instance that you want to add to the cluster. Load-Balancer_Port is same as the port
configured during the new vCenter Chargeback Manager installation. Server_Instance_Name is the name
that you have provided during the installation.
4 Restart the Load Balancer service from the Start > Programs > VMware > VMware vCenter Chargeback
> vCenter Chargeback Manager Services menu.
Install vCenter Chargeback Manager with an Existing Database Schema
You can create a stand-alone vCenter Chargeback Manager instance that uses an existing vCenter Chargeback
Manager schema.
When you install vCenter Chargeback Manager, you provide database details to install the vCenter Chargeback
Manager schema. If the database already contains the vCenter Chargeback Manager database schema, the
installer lets you use it as is or create a new schema.
This install procedure is particularly useful when you want to move a vCenter Chargeback Manager instance,
the load balancer, and the vCenter Chargeback Manager database to a different machine from the one that
they currently exist on.
