Configure the Networking Database Plug-In
The networking database table contains data related to the management of the IP addresses.
Procedure
1 Log in to the Orchestrator configuration interface.
http://orchestrator_server:8282
2 On the Networking tab, select the database connection type.
Option Description
Same as vCO
Select this option to store LCM networking data in the Orchestrator database.
Custom
Select this option to store LCM networking data in a database different from
the Orchestrator database.
NOTE The best practice is to use a separate database for LCM.
Depending on the type of database you are connecting to, the required
information might vary. For a list of the connection parameters that you
might be required to specify, see “Database Connection Parameters,” on
page 40.
3 Click Apply changes.
