Orchestrator Database Requirements
Orchestrator requires you to have a database that is separate from the standard vCenter database.

Orchestrator server on different machines from the same datacenter. Make sure at least 1GB of free disk space
is available on each machine.
The following database types are supported by Orchestrator:
n
