Oracle VM Manager is able to use any of the following database types to act as a management repository:

If you select to use MySQL as your backend repository, Oracle VM Manager can be installed using the Simple installation which will locally install the default MySQL database that is packaged with the Oracle VM Manager installer. Oracle VM Manager makes use of its own version of MySQL 5.5 Enterprise Edition which is licensed for exclusive use by Oracle VM (see MySQL Enterprise Edition ). MySQL is installed into the standard location with databases and configuration information located at /u01/app/oracle/mysql/data. The MySQL server that is installed uses a non-standard TCP Port (49500) for exclusive use by Oracle VM Manager. Do not use the bundled database for other applications.

In order to prevent potential conflicts with existing MySQL installations, The Oracle VM Manager installer will require that you remove any existing MySQL installation prior to installation. If you are running MySQL on the system where you are installing Oracle VM Manager, the installer will exit to allow you to backup any existing databases and remove the existing MySQL instance before proceeding with the installation.

If you select to use an Oracle Database type as your backend repository, you must install and configure it for use according to the documentation packaged with it prior to installing Oracle VM Manager. When running the Oracle VM Manager installer you can select to perform a Custom installation, which allows you to specify the parameters that are required in order to connect to the existing database. The Oracle VM Manager installer does not install any Oracle Database itself.
