n
This format requires host name and address, port (default 1521) and SID (for example, "ORCL"):
jdbc:oracle:thin:@
host
:
port
:
SID
n
This format is for a fully configured Oracle client with Oracle Net, which is useful for non-TCP
configuration or Oracle RAC (real application clusters):
jdbc:oracle:thin:@
tnsname
n
The following example is for an Oracle RAC with a thin driver, without the full Oracle client installed:
jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=rac1-vip)(PORT=1521))
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=rac2-vip)(PORT=1521))(LOAD_BALANCE=yes)(FAILOVER=ON)
(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVER=DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME=RAC.DBTEAM)(FAILOVER_MODE=(BACKUP=rac1)
(TYPE=SELECT)(METHOD=BASIC)))))
In this example,
rac1-vip
is first node virtual IP,
rac2-vip
is second node virtual IP,
RAC.DBTEAM
is RAC
DB service name, and
rac1
is name of failover node.
For more information about JDBC URL formatting for Oracle databases, see the oracle.com Web site.
Running the vCenter Server Installer from a Network Drive
You can run the vCenter Server installer from a network drive, but you cannot install the software on a
network drive.
In Windows, you can run the installers from the network drive and install the software on the local machine.
