How to find out which database server is configured for vCloud Director

I got a question earlier about how to find out which database server vCloud Director is using.

To do this follow the steps below:

1. Connect to the vCD cell using SSH
2. Navigate to /opt/vmware/vcloud-director/etc
3. cat global.properties
   You will see an output similar as this:
4. # Database connection settings
   database.jdbcUrl = jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://192.168.10.163:1433/vcd;socketTimeout=90;instance=SQLExpress
   database.username = vcd
   database.password = dSLuRFq1fqHaADwT298j5aTy1GUfJxualYQSZv2Oa2xjR4b869x47Ihp1XAZj4cB
5. The IP address highlighted in bold is the IP address or FQDN of the configured database server
