Additional Installation Steps for Advanced
Configurations
NOTE: Please read the next two sections only if you are deploying more than one Echo
Thin Manage Virtual Appliance in the same environment. If this does not apply to your
environment, skip to Chapter 2, "Learning Echo Basics."
Configure Devon IT Echo Management Console Dell Edition to Use
MS-SQL Database
By default, Echo is configured to use a single SQLite database that is internal to
the Echo virtual machine. Echo can also use an MS-SQL database, and must do
so when more than one Echo virtual machine is used. For example, if you plan
on deploying the Enterprise Architecture to take advantage of High Availability
features, then you must follow these steps:
1
Visit easysoft.com/member/login.phtml to register for an Easysoft
ODBC driver authorization code.
2
Select Configure Database from the Echo virtual machine's Main Menu
screen.
3
Select Select and configure a different database from the Database
Configuration menu.
4
Select mssql from the Select a Database menu.
5
Select Install Easysoft ODBC Driver from the Easysoft ODBC
Installation menu. This will launch the driver installation script.
6
Press <Enter> to read the end-user license agreement. Type Yes at the
first prompt to accept the license.
7 Keep pressing <Enter> until you see Running the License Application.
Choose option [2] from the menu.
8
Enter your Name, Company Name, and email address at the appropriate
prompts. The other questions can be left blank.
9
You will see How would you like to obtain the license? Select option
[1].
10 Select [0] Exit at the next menu.
