Install BE using oracle db

[chussi]

Hey, I like to install BE2010R2 on Server 2008 R2 using an Oracle (Express) database.

Does anyone know an article describing this ?

Background:
On this server VMWare vCenter is installed.

When BE is already installed, I am not able to install vCenter, because Ports are blocked.

So it´s not working when both products installing its own microsoft sql express edition

Hi chussi,

Not possible...you cannot use Oracle as a DB for BE.

If you download the BE 2010 SCL, please refer to the section: Backup Exec Database Repository Compatibility on pg. 45.

SQL Express 2005/SQL 2005 and up are the only supported DB applications you can host the BEDB on.

As craig said not supported and compatible , you can put this as an enhancement request so if more number of people vote on ur Idea Engineering might look into it ...
