Installing external Database
Overview
To Get DCPM working with an external database the end user needs to configure 2 separate
databases. One database is used by DCPM as main database, the second Database is used as
monitoring database.
DCPM is using postgresql DB version 8.4.x or Oracle 11g.
Following actions need to be performed:
1. Create two different Databases (Main DB and Monitoring DB)
2. Create a user and password to access those databases
3. Grant permissions for the user to both Databases
4. Alter those databases
5. Edit files postgresql.conf & pg_hba.conf
In this manual we will address creating an external DB in postgresql version 8.4.x. Postgresql is a
free downloadable database.
Install DB on Server
In this section we will show you how to create the requested databases on the Server. There are
two tools to use in order to create a DB:
1. Pgadmin III (graphical)
2. Psql (command line)
Install operating system
Following operating systems where tested for installation of the external Database
