Alternately, you can use the fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) for all the servers and databases that
vCenter Chargeback Manager communicates with.
IMPORTANT In the case of a multi-homed machine, you can configure vCenter Chargeback Manager
with only one interface. That is to say, although you can install vCenter Chargeback Manager on a
multi-homed machine, you can use only the IP address or FQDN that you provide during the
installation to access and use vCenter Chargeback Manager. Also, if the different components, such as
data collectors and vCenter Servers, in a vCenter Chargeback Manager setup are installed on multi-
homed machines, vCenter Chargeback Manager communicates with these components by using the
URL specified when configuring the components in vCenter Chargeback Manager.

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 pricing 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 12. 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.
