Install Remote database in OpenManage Essentials
19 Installing Dell EMC OpenManage Essentials
Perform the installation by using any of the following authentication methods:
• Windows Authentication—Windows login credentials are used to connect to the remote SQL Server.
Use this method if the Windows login credentials of the remote system and the OME installation
system are same.
• SQL Server Authentication—Use this method if the Windows login credentials of the remote database
system and the OME installation system are different.
Note—After you set up the OME database on the remote system, do not move the database. Else, the
OME will stop working.
To install the OME by using the database name other than “OMEssentials”:
• In the Database server screen, type the new name in Database Name.
• You can also create a database in the SQL server and type the name of the created database in
Database Name. In this scenario, the message will be displayed as shown in the screen shot here.
