You have the option to use a pre-existing instance of a supported version of an Oracle
database if you want to override the default Systems Insight Manager database.
If you decide to use an existing Oracle database, be prepared to supply the following
configuration information:
• IP address or host name of your existing Oracle database
• The port number for connecting to the Oracle server. The default port number is
1521.
• The name of the Oracle database instance at the corresponding Oracle database
server.
• The Oracle database user name and password used to connect to the Oracle
database server.
• The full path to the Oracle thin client driver .jar file. This path is not required
if the .jar file is already in the class path for Systems Insight Manager and JBoss.
The Systems Insight Manager Oracle configuration script reports an error if the
driver class cannot be loaded. This installation will not copy over a .jar file if it
already exists in the classpath for Systems Insight Manager and JBoss. By default,
the ojdbc14.jar file is not shipped with Systems Insight Manager,
Be prepared to answer similar questions for HP virtualization software. The Oracle
database user name must be different for HP virtualization software.
