Install and configure the management server database

To implement the remote server database, these criteria must be met:

• Both the management server system and the database server system should have a unique, fully-qualified domain name.
• Names and addresses of both systems must be resolvable at all times. HP recommends using DNS for name resolution.

Follow the instructions below to configure the management server and the system where the remote database will reside.

To install and configure the management server

1. Install HP Operations Manager and the desired Smart Plug-ins and HP Reporter as described in the Installation Guides.
2. Stop the management console.
3. Stop the following services:
