Installation guide

Installing the ZENworks Server 51
Database options For ZENworks 11 , a database must be established. The database options are
displayed only when the first server is installed to the zone. However, you can run the
installation program specifically to install or repair a database (see Section 3.3.4,
“Installing an External ZENworks Database,” on page 37).
You have the following database options:
 Embedded Sybase SQL Anywhere: Automatically installs the embedded
database on the local server.
If you select the embedded database option, no further database installation
pages are shown.
 Remote Sybase SQL Anywhere: This database must already exist on a server
in your network. It can be on the current server.
To select this option, you should already have followed the steps in
“Prerequisites for Remote Sybase SQL Anywhere” on page 38.
You also use this option for installing to an existing remote OEM Sybase
database.
 Microsoft SQL Server: You can create a new SQL database or specify an
existing database that resides on a server in your network. It can be on the
current server.
Creating a new SQL database at this time provides the same results as the
steps in “Prerequisites for Microsoft SQL Server” on page 39.
 Oracle: Specifies a user schema that you can use to set up an external Oracle
database schema for use with ZENworks.
You can either create a new user schema or specify an existing one that resides
on a server in your network.
To select this option, you should already have followed the steps in
“Prerequisites for Oracle” on page 39.
IMPORTANT: The following points must be considered for external databases:
 The time on the server hosting the database must be synchronized with each of
the Primary Servers in the Management Zone. The external database can also
reside on the local machine.
 If you have specified the database hostname, it must be DNS resolvable.
