Route traffic between vCloud Director servers and the vCloud Director database server over a
dedicated private network if possible.
n
Virtual switches and distributed virtual switches that support provider networks must be isolated from
each other. They cannot share the same level 2 physical network segment.
Installing and Configuring a vCloud Director Database
vCloud Director cells use a database to store shared information. This database must exist before you can
complete installation and configuration of vCloud Director software.
NOTE Regardless of the database software you choose, you must create a separate, dedicated database
schema for vCloud Director to use. vCloud Director cannot share a database schema with any other
VMware product.
Configure an Oracle Database
Oracle databases have specific configuration requirements when you use them with vCloud Director. Install
and configure a database instance and create the vCloud Director database user account before you install
vCloud Director.
Procedure
1 Configure the database server.
A database server configured with 16GB of memory, 100GB storage, and 4 CPUs should be adequate
for most vCloud Director clusters.
2 Create the database instance.
Use commands of the following form to create separate data (CLOUD_DATA) and index
(CLOUD_INDX) tablespaces:
Create Tablespace CLOUD_DATA datafile '$ORACLE_HOME/oradata/cloud_data01.dbf' size 1000M
autoextend on;
Create Tablespace CLOUD_INDX datafile '$ORACLE_HOME/oradata/cloud_indx01.dbf' size 500M
autoextend on;
3 Create the vCloud Director database user account.
The following command creates database user name vcloud with password vcloudpass.
Create user $vcloud identified by $vcloudpass default tablespace CLOUD_DATA;
NOTE When you create the vCloud Director database user account, you must specify CLOUD_DATA
as the default tablespace.
