9 Select the data collectors that you want to install and click Next.
The Install vCenter Chargeback Manager Data Collector option is selected by default. You must have at
least one instance of this data collector running and registered with the application for the database
synchronization jobs to run.
You can optionally choose to install the vCloud Director data collector and vShield Manager data collector.
All the data collectors can be installed even after a vCenter Chargeback Manager instance is installed. If
you are installing the vShield Manager data collector, choose to install the vCloud Director data collector
too or ensure that at least one instance of vCloud Director data collector is running.
If you installing only the load balancer, then you cannot select any data collectors for installation.
10 If you chose to install the vCloud Director data collector, provide information about the vCloud Director
setup, and click Next.
Option Description
vCloud Director Hostname/IP or URL
Static IP address or the FQDN of the machine on which the vCloud Director
setup is running. You can also provide the complete URL that you use to
access the vCloud Director setup.
Username
The administrative username to access the vCloud Director setup.
Password
Password for the administrative user account.
The installer checks the version of the vCloud Director setup. If you have a vCloud Director 1.5.x setup,
the installer request for the vCloud Director database details. If you have a vCloud Director 5.1 setup, the
installer does not require the corresponding database details.
11 (Optional) If you have a vCloud Director 1.5.x setup, enter the corresponding vCloud Director database-
related information, and click Next.
Option Description
Database Type
The type of database used to create the vCloud Director database. The
permissible values are ORACLE and SQL Server.
Database URL
The IP address of the system on which the vCloud Director database is
installed.
The database URL can be in any of the following formats:
IP Address
Host Name
You can also specify a well formed JDBC URL that starts with 'jdbc' and
contains the database name. If you want to connect to a SQL Server vCloud
Director database by using Windows Authentication, then you must provide
a JDBC URL of the following form:
jdbc:sqlserver://;serverName={hostName};databaseName={dbNam
e};integratedSecurity=true
The Windows user account used to log in to the vCloud Director database is
same as the domain user credentials used for running the installer.
Database Port
(Optional) The port on which the database service is listening for requests.
If the port number is not specified, the installer uses the default port. You
must specify the TNS listener port if you are not using the default port 1521.
Database Name
Name of the database in which vCloud Director stores the application-
specific data. This must be the service name and not the SID.
Database Username
The name of the database user. The database user must have privileges to
read the vCloud Director database objects. If you have provided a JDBC URL
with Windows Authentication for an SQL Server database, this database user
account is not used for logging in to the database. However, you must
provide the database user account information.
Database Password
Password for the user name that you have provided.
If the installer successfully connects to the database, the next screen is displayed.
