Set a static IP address on the machine.
Before you install the vCenter Chargeback Manager, you must obtain a static IP address from your network
administrator. Set this IP address on the machine on which you are going to install vCenter Chargeback
Manager. Preferably, obtain and set static IP addresses on all the servers and databases that the vCenter
Chargeback Manager communicates with.
Alternately, you can use the fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) for all the servers and databases that
vCenter Chargeback Manager communicates with.
Database Management Prerequisites
Performing the database management-related pre-installation tasks ensures that you have a database and a
database user account with the required privileges that the application can use.
Before you begin the vCenter Chargeback installation you must create a vCenter Chargeback Manager database
and a corresponding database user. vCenter Chargeback Manager stores the application-specific data, such as
cost models, chargeback hierarchies, and users and roles, in the vCenter Chargeback Manager database. You
must, therefore, first create a database for storing this data. The database management systems supported by
vCenter Chargeback Manager are listed in “Software Requirements,” on page 11. You can either create the
database yourself by referring to the corresponding product documentation or ask your database administrator
to create one for you. Ensure that the database is not configured to be case-sensitive.
If you are using an Oracle database as the vCenter Chargeback Manager database, you must configure the
database to use the Unicode (AL32UTF8) character set to support the following scenarios:
n
You want to deploy the vCenter Chargeback Manager database in a non-English environment.
n
You want to synchronize the vCenter Chargeback Manager database with a vCenter Server database that
has non-English data.
You must provide the details of the database and database user when installing vCenter Chargeback Manager.
The installer uses these details to create the database schema and objects. Also, vCenter Chargeback Manager
and the data collector authenticates in to the database by using this database user account to perform the
necessary database operations.
NOTE Instead of using the default database users, such as sa, SYS, and SYSTEM, create a database user with just
the required privileges and access the database with this users credentials. This is a good security practice.
vCenter Chargeback Manager Database User Privileges in Oracle Database
After you create a database instance and a database user in Oracle Database that vCenter Chargeback Manager
can use, you must assign the following system roles and privileges to this user.
