Configuring Database Settings
Database settings configuration is largely the same for any role when you choose to
include the database on that server. For roles that automatically include the default
MySQL database, such as All In One or Database Only, the Database Type, Database
Host, and Database Port fields are not editable. This is also the case for any role when
the Include Database (MYSQL) checkbox is selected. The Administrator Credentials
fields are displayed only if the role has been defined to include the installation of the
MySQL database. These are not available when a SQL Server database is selected.
This section describes the options for configuring the database settings for either the
MySQL database or the Microsoft SQL Server database. SonicWALL GMS can use
either a MySQL or a SQL Server database.
Note: If this appliance will connect to a SQL Server system with a non-default instance
name, then the entries will be different than described in this section. Refer to the
SonicWALL GMS Administrator's Guide for configuration instructions.
To configure the database settings for any role, perform the following steps in the UMH
system interface:
1. Navigate to the Deployment > Role page and select the role for this server.
2. To run the MySQL database on this SonicWALL GMS server, select the Include
Database (MYSQL) checkbox. To use a MySQL or Microsoft SQL Server database
on another system, do not
select this checkbox.
3. Under Database Configuration, if Include Database (MYSQL) was not selected in
the previous step, select either MYSQL or SQL Server from the Database Type
