Database connectivity error in CAS Vulnerability Test in Guardium when the IP address to connect to the database is different (virtual ip) than the physical host IP address

Troubleshooting


Problem

Your database server is listening for connections to the database on a virtual IP which is different than the host physical IP address. You configured a Vulnerability Test for CAS (Change Audit System) on that database in IBM Infosphere Guardium. You run the Test and it fails, it can not connect to the Datasource.

Symptom

Vulnerability Test fails with a connectivity error indicating it was unable to connect to the database. Error string may vary as it depends on the database system but error will indicate the inability to open the database connection.
