Installation, Configuration, and Maintenance

This section covers the installation, configuration, and maintenance of the RDB database.

Upgrade Scenarios

The Reporting Database 2.3.0.0 installer removes Monitor, therefore the upgrade choreography differs depending on if you would like to keep using Monitor. If you would like to keep using Monitor and upgrade to Reporting Database 2.3.0.0, then, before installing Reporting Database 2.3.0.0, see the section, "Retaining Monitor 2.1.x.x or 2.2.x.x and Upgrading to Reporting Database 2.3.0.0" in the Reporting Database Release Notes.

Installing the Reporting Database

To install the Reporting Database appliance on VMware:

Procedure 

  1. If you have not done so already, create a VM that meets Ivanti's recommended specifications.
  2. Place the ISO distribution in an existing vSphere datastore.

  3. In the vSphere Client, select the Edit Settings option for the VM you created.

  4. Select Datastore ISO File.
  5. Click Browse to select the Reporting Database ISO distribution. Make sure that the Connected and Connect at power on options are selected in the Virtual Machine Properties.
  6. Select Host Device.
  7. Click OK.
  8. Power on the VM. The VM automatically installs and reloads after a few minutes, and the installation program starts.
