system load. This pool can grow at peak loads to a maximum of 200 concurrent database
connections per Primary Server. If your Oracle database is configured to use dedicated server
processes, it is possible that your database server resource usage can reach undesirable levels
that affect performance when there are multiple Primary Servers in your zone. If you encounter
this problem, consider changing your ZENworks database to use shared server processes.
Performing the External ZENworks Database Installation
1 Make sure that the server where you plan to install the external database fulfills the requirements
in Section 1.4, “Database Requirements,” on page 21 and “Prerequisites for Installing External
Databases” on page 38.
2 Start the database installation program.
2a On the server where you want to install the external database, insert the Novell ZENworks
11 installation DVD.
If the DVD autoruns the database installation program, exit the program.
If the server is Windows, continue with Step 2b. If the server is Linux, skip to Step 2c.
2b For Windows, enter the following at the command prompt on the external database server:
DVD_drive:\setup.exe -c
or
If ZENworks 11 has already been installed on a device, and if you want to use the device to
configure another instance of the ZENworks database (on the same device or on another
device) by using the external database installation program, run the following command:
DVD_drive:\setup.exe -c --zcminstall
2c For Linux, run the following command on the external database server:
sh /media/cdrom/setup.sh -c
This provides additional options that you do not have when installing the Primary Server,
especially if you want to make your OEM database a remote database. You can view the
SQL files generating the ZENworks database, create access users, view creation
commands (OEM Sybase only), and so on.
or
If ZENworks 11 has already been installed on a device, and if you want to use the device to
configure another instance of the ZENworks database (on the same device or on another
device) by using the external database installation program, run the following command:
mounted_DVD_drive/setup.sh -c --zcminstall
Using the sh command resolves rights issues.
Only the GUI installation is available for installing a database.
3 On the Select ZENworks Database page, select one of the following:
 OEM Sybase SQL Anywhere: Installs the default Sybase database for ZENworks. It is
configured as a service, the database user is created, and the required tables for the
Primary Server are established.
If you select this option, you must use the
-o (or --sybase-oem ) parameter with the
setup.exe installation executable in order to successfully install to the database when you
install the Primary Server software. This parameter allows ZENworks to authenticate the
database prior to performing any operations on it.
You should use the
-o parameter only when you are using the Sybase installation that is
provided on the Novell ZENworks 11 installation DVD.
