You can uninstall a vCenter Chargeback Manager instance but retain the database. You can then move the
database to a new location and re-install vCenter Chargeback Manager and the load balancer on different
machines. When re-installing vCenter Chargeback Manager, you must provide the database details of the
relocated vCenter Chargeback Manager database.
NOTE If the installation fails due to some reason, the uninstaller is automatically invoked and all the
components installed till the failure occurred is removed.
The administrative account for accessing this re-installed vCenter Chargeback Manager instance will be
same as the one used during the installation of the earlier vCenter Chargeback Manager instance.
IMPORTANT Ensure that the vCenter Chargeback Manager version and the vCenter Chargeback Manager
database schema version are of the same. That is to say, you install a vCenter Chargeback Manager 2.5.1
instance with a vCenter Chargeback Manager 2.5.1 database schema.
Procedure
1 Run the vCenter-CB.exe file.
The installation wizard is displayed.
2 Click Next on the Introduction screen.
3 Accept the end-user license agreement, and click Next.

If the specified installation directory exists, ensure that it is empty. If the specified installation directory
does not exist, the installer creates the directory. The install path must contain at least one folder. You
cannot provide only the drive name. Also, the directory path must contain only ASCII characters.
5 Enter the details of an existing vCenter Chargeback Manager database, and click Next.
Option Description
Database Type
The type of database used to create the vCenter Chargeback Manager
database. This can be either SQL SERVER or ORACLE.
Database URL
The IP address or host name of the system on which the vCenter
Chargeback Manager database is installed. For an SQL Server database,
you can also provide the vCenter Chargeback Manager database instance
name. The database instance name must contain only ASCII characters.
For Oracle Database, the database URL can be in any of the following
formats:
IP Address
Host Name
For SQL Server, the database URL can be in any of the following formats:

You can also specify a well formed JDBC URL that starts with 'jdbc' and
contains the database name.
Database Port
(Optional) The port on which the database service is listening for requests.
If the port number is not specified, the installer uses the default port. For
an Oracle database, you must specify the TNS listener port if you are not
using the default port 1521. For an SQL Server database, specify the
database instance port if you are using a static port.
Database Name
Name of the database in which vCenter Chargeback Manager stores the
application-specific data. For Oracle Database, ensure that you provide the
