About the Cloud Director Database
Cells in a Cloud Director cluster use a database to store shared information. This database must exist before
you can complete installation and configuration of Cloud Director software.
Database Configuration Parameters
The database must be configured to allow at least 75 connections per Cloud Director cell plus about 50 for
Oracle's own use. There is one cell for each server host in a Cloud Director cluster. Table 1-1 shows how to
obtain values for other configuration parameters based on the number of connections, where C represents the
number of cells in your Cloud Director cluster.
Table 1-1. Oracle Database Configuration Parameters
Oracle Configuration Parameter Value for C Cells
CONNECTIONS 75*C+50
PROCESSES = CONNECTIONS
SESSIONS = PROCESSES*1.1+5
TRANSACTIONS = SESSIONS*1.1
OPEN_CURSORS = SESSIONS
Database Creation Best Practices
Use commands of the following form to create separate data (CLOUD_DATA) and index (CLOUD_INDX)
tablespaces:
Create Tablespace CLOUD_DATA datafile '$ORACLE_HOME/oradata/cloud_data01.dbf' size 1000M
autoextend on;
Create Tablespace CLOUD_INDX datafile '$ORACLE_HOME/oradata/cloud_indx01.dbf' size 500M
autoextend on;
When you create the Cloud Director database user account, you must specify CLOUD_DATA as the default
tablespace.
Create user $vclouduser identified by $vcloudpass default tablespace CLOUD_DATA;
Database User Account and Required System Privileges
Do not use the Oracle system account as the Cloud Director database user account. You must create a dedicated
user account for this purpose and grant the following system privileges to the account:
n
CONNECT
n
RESOURCE
n
CREATE TRIGGER
n
CREATE TYPE
n
CREATE VIEW
n
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW
n
CREATE PROCEDURE
n
CREATE SEQUENCE
