After You Install Vcenter Server - VMware VS4-ENT-PL-A - vSphere Enterprise Plus Setup Manual

After You Install vCenter Server

After you install vCenter Server, consider these postinstallation options before adding inventory for the
vCenter Server to manage.
General Requirements
Install the vSphere Web Client and make sure that you can access the vCenter Server instance.
n
When vCenter Server and the database are installed on the same machine, after you reboot the machine,
n
you might need to restart the VMware VirtualCenter Management Webservices service. See
vCenter Management Webservices Service Fails to Start,"
Review the subtopics in this section for other postinstallation options.
n
Oracle Database Requirements
For the Oracle Instant client, copy ojdbc14.jar to the vCenter Server tomcat directory
n
location\Infrastructure\tomcat\lib
The Oracle 10g client and Oracle 11g client include ojdbc14.jar at:
n
location\oracle\product\10.2.0\instance_name\jdbc\lib
location\app\Administrator\product\11.1.0\instance_name\sqldeveloper\jdbc\lib
Server installer copies the file from the Oracle client installation location to the vCenter Server tomcat
directory
vCenter install location\Infrastructure\tomcat\lib
If neither the ojdbc14.jar file nor the ojdbc5.jar file is found in the Oracle 10g or Oracle 11g client
n
location, the vCenter Server installer prompts you to copy the file manually. You can download the file
from the Oracle.com Web site.
After you install or upgrade the Oracle database and, if necessary, copy the ojdbc14.jar file or ojdbc5.jar
n
file manually, restart the WMware VirtualCenter Management Webservices service. The WMware
VirtualCenter Management Webservices service is located in the Services section of the Windows
Administrative Tools control panel.
Security Requirement
For environments that require strong security, VMware recommends that you replace the default certificates
on your vCenter Server system with certificates signed by a commercial Certificate Authority (CA). See the
information on increasing security for session information in the vSphere Examples and Scenarios
documentation.
