Database Type
The type of database used to create the vCenter Chargeback Manager
database. This can be either SQL SERVER or ORACLE.
Database URL
The IP address or host name of the system on which the vCenter Chargeback

You can also specify a well formed JDBC URL that starts with 'jdbc' and

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. For an

the default port 1521. For an SQL Server database, specify the database
instance port if you are using a static port.
Database Name
Name of the database in which vCenter Chargeback Manager stores the
application-specific data. For Oracle Database, ensure that you provide the
service name and not the SID.
SQL Authentication Mode
This option is applicable only for SQL Server databases. For an SQL Server
database, the authentication type can be either SQL Server Authentication
or Windows Authentication.
Database Username
The name of the database user. The database user must have privileges to
create and delete schema, as well as read from and write to the database. If
you select Windows Authentication for SQL Authentication Mode, you
must provide the Windows user account name. The user name must be of
the form DomainName\UserName. Also, the user must have the Log on as
a service permission.
Database Password
Password for the user name that you have provided. If you select Windows
Authentication as the authentication type, you must provide the password
for the Windows user account. Ensure that the Windows user account
password does not contain any special characters. The installer might fail if
the password contains special characters.
If the installer detects an instance of the vCloud Director data collector, a dialog window stating you
provide the same vCloud Director database information is displayed. Click OK.
7 Enter the vCloud Director setup information 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.
