You create and configure an Oracle Server database for vSphere Replication by using the tools that
Oracle Server provides.
This information provides the general steps that you must perform to configure an Oracle Server
database for vSphere Replication. For instructions about how to perform the relevant steps, see the
Oracle documentation.
Procedure
1 When creating the database instance, select UTF-8 encoding.
2 Create the vSphere Replication database user account.
3 If they are not selected already, select the CONNECT and RESOURCE roles.
These roles provide the privileges that vSphere Replication requires.
Use the Embedded vSphere Replication Database
If you configured vSphere Replication to use an external database, you can reconfigure
vSphere Replication to use the embedded database.
The vSphere Replication appliance includes an embedded vPostgreSQL database. The embedded
database is preconfigured for use with vSphere Replication and is enabled if you accept the default
Performs initial configuration of the appliance using an embedded database option when you
deploy the vSphere Replication appliance. If you reconfigured vSphere Replication to use an external
database after deployment, you can switch to the embedded database. After switching databases, you
must manually configure replications again as the replication management data is not migrated to the
database. You can use the reset feature in the embedded database to drop replications, site connections
and external vSphere Replication registrations.
Prerequisites
n
Verify that the vSphere Replication appliance is powered on.
n
Verify that you have administrator privileges to configure the vSphere Replication appliance.
n
You must have reconfigured vSphere Replication to use an external database.
Procedure
1 Use a supported browser to log in to the vSphere Replication VAMI.
The URL for the VAMI is https://vr-appliance-address:5480.
2 Review and confirm the browser security exception, if applicable, to proceed to the login page.
3 Type the root user name and password for the appliance.
You configured the root password during the OVF deployment of the vSphere Replication appliance.
4 On the VR tab, click Configuration.
5 Select Configure using the embedded database.
6 (Optional) Click Reset Embedded Database to reset the database.
