If you want to set up an external database, you have the following options:
Set up the database during the Primary Server installation: This is the quickest and easiest
method. For detailed information about this method, see
Installation," on page
Set up the database externally before installing the Primary Server: This option is
especially useful if your database administrator is not the same as your ZENworks
administrator. Detailed information about this method is provided in this section.
During the ZENworks installation you have the following options to install or create external
ZENworks databases:
Install to a new remote OEM Sybase database
Install to an existing Sybase SQL Anywhere external database
Install to an existing Microsoft SQL Server external database
Create a new Microsoft SQL Server external database
Install to an existing Oracle 10g user schema
Create a new Oracle 10g user schema
Some of these options require you to complete certain tasks for creating or setting up external
databases before ZENworks can write to them during installation. Complete the prerequisites, then
continue with the database installation.
