Summary
Deploy IMSS separately from its bundled database component if you encounter any of the following scenarios:
- You deploy IMSS in a distributed manner, and therefore, you need to separate the main components in different host machines to provide better performance and prevent single point of failure (SPOF) from your end.
- You already have an existing database on the target server and there is no need to setup the IMSS application with the database component.
Details
To separately install the IMSS administrator database, do any of the following:
- Run the installation program and configure the IMSS database only, without selecting any other IMSS components.
- If you have an existing database server on the target machine, do the following:
- Using the command interface, go to the setup folder.
- Run the installation program by executing the "setup.exe /zOnlyInstDB" command.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to install the IMSS administrator database.
After installing the IMSS administrator database, run the installation program again and install any other components using an account other than "sa" to connect to the IMSS database.
