3 If the new vSphere network to be used as the database access network is not in the resource bundle used
by the DBG, add the network to the Resource Bundle.
a Click the System tab, and click Manage and Monitor.
b Click Resource Bundles.
c Right-click the resource bundle, and select Properties.
d Click the Network tab, and click Edit.
e Find the network to add to the resource bundle, and click DHCP or IP Pool.
f If you select IP Pool but IP Pool has not been configured for this vSphere network, click Edit next to
the IP Pool and provide a netmask, a gateway and, optionally, DNS servers 1 and 2, and add at least
one IP address range.
g Click OK.
h Click OK in the Edit Networks window.
i Click OK in the Properties window.
4 Click the appropriate Organization tab, and click Manage and Monitor.
5 Right-click the database group and select Properties.
6 In the Network section, select an available vSphere network from the DB access network drop-down
menu to be used for the database group.
7 Click OK to submit the change.
Modify IP Pool Settings
You can modify an IP Pool after you set it up. You can add or remove IP address ranges. You can also change
the gateway and DNS settings, but only if no IP addresses in the pool are in use.
Procedure
1 Log in to Data Director as a system administrator.
2 Click the System tab, and click System Settings.
3 Expand Other Settings, and click Network.
4 Click the IP Pools tab.
5 Right-click an IP pool and select Edit IP Pool.
6 Click the green plus icon and add an IP address range not in use, and click OK.
7 To remove an IP address range, right-click the address range and click Delete.
You cannot delete an IP range that includes one or more addresses used by either the Management Server-
Internal Network Adapter or the DB Name Server-Internal Network Adapter. You should reconfigure
those network adapters to use other addresses (possibly a Static IP address assignment instead of IP Pool).
“Reconfigure the Internal Network or Internal Network Adapter Mapping,” on page 203
You can request deletion of an IP range that is assigned. The status for the IP range changes to
Releasing but the IP addresses continue to be in use until the virtual machines using them are turned off.
You can also modify the Gateway and DNS server settings, but only if no IP addresses in the IP Pool are
in use, that is, no IP Range has the Status Assigned.
8 Click OK.
