Database Server and Database
Updated in 2021.2
Specify these settings:
-
In the SQL Server field, choose the SQL server where your Network Inventory database resides (or will reside if you are creating a new database).
NOTE: If your SQL Server is configured to accept connections on a non-standard port, add this port number after the server name, separating them with a comma; for example:
SERVER001,5618. -
Provide the credentials of an account with the 'sysadmin' fixed server role. These credentials will only be used for creating the database and will not be stored.
-
To use your Windows account, choose Windows Authentication. You are not required to type in a username and password.
-
To use your SQL Server account, choose SQL Server Authentication and enter your SQL login name and password.
-
In the Database field, choose the Network Inventory database. If you are creating a new database, enter a database name.
-
If you are creating a new database, choose a collation and database file settings:
-
To use the default collation and database file settings, leave the Configure advanced database properties (collation, storage, etc.) box clear. Use this option if you’re not sure about those settings.
-
To choose a non-default collation for the database and (or) change names, locations, or initial sizes for the database files, select the Configure advanced database properties (collation, storage, etc.) check box.
-
Click Next.
NOTE: If you are upgrading your Network Inventory database and your database is involved in replication, you should turn replication off. You can turn replication back on after completing the upgrade.
