How to configure vCenter Orchestrator 4.1 with PostgreSQL

July 12, 2010

Since vCenter Orchestrator 4.1 PostgreSQL is not listed in the vCO configuration database tab drop down databases list.

To enable it back:

Edit vmo.properties in C:\\Program Files\\VMware\\Orchestrator\\app-server\\server\\vmo\\conf
Add this line: ch.dunes.config.enable-unsupported-db-providers=true

Please note that this is an unsupported configuration - Do not do this on production servers !
