Cisco Systems 1.2 Manual De Usuario

Connecting to an External Oracle Database

Before You Begin

• Set up an external Oracle database. The supported version is Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition

Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64-bit Production or higher. Note down the database server hostname, the database
name, the user name and the password to access the database. You must have privileges to create tables
in the database and to add, modify and delete records in those tables.

• You must open the firewall ports in the database server so that Cisco UCS Central can access the external

database.
