Chapter 4 Installing Virtual Network Data Server
Installing Virtual Network Data Server
Note Virtual Network Data Server can operate with either a local or remote Oracle database. If a local
database is present, you have the option of using this database. You can also choose to use a
remote database. In either case, the installer displays a panel which requests database access
information. If a local database is not found, but an Oracle client installation is detected, the
installer displays a panel requesting access information about the remote database. While the
Oracle database may be installed on a remote system, the Virtual Network Data Server and
Oracle database cannot be separated by a WAN. This means that they must be co-located and
connected via a high speed local link. This connection should be unimpeded by an intervening
firewall.
Step 6 Specify local database access information.
Note Select a user name that is dedicated for use by the Virtual Network Data Server service.
The installer prompts you for the following database access information:
• Local Database TNS Service Name
