Choose a Data Storage Method You can configure the Data Collector to store data in an external database or in an embedded database on the file system of the host server. Choose the option that is most appropriate for your environment:
External database: If you decide to use an external database, select the ed database type that best suits your needs. See Data Collector Requirements on page 3 for a list of ed database types. Enterprise Manager uses a database to create a database named compmsa and a database named compmsadb, which uses a custom schema.
Embedded database: If you choose to use the embedded database, the Data Collector can only retain 30 days worth of data, and the database size cannot exceed 2 GB. Note: The embedded database is not recommended for a production environment.
Gather Required Installation Information Before installing Enterprise Manager components, print this page and record the following information.

On 64-bit systems both the 32-bit and the 64-bit JRE are required. To use IPv6, assign IPv6 addresses as described in the following table. IPv6 Connection
Requirements
Client to Data Collector
• Client computer must have an IPv6 address. • Data Collector server must have both an IPv4 and an IPv6 address.
Data Collector to Storage • Data Collector server must have both an IPv4 and an IPv6 address. Center • Storage Center must have both an IPv4 and an IPv6 address on the management interface.

Choose a Data Storage Method You can configure the Data Collector to store data in an external database or in an embedded database on the file system of the host server. Choose the option that is most appropriate for your environment:
External database: If you decide to use an external database, select the ed database type that best suits your needs. See Data Collector Requirements on page 3 for a list of ed database types. Enterprise Manager uses a database to create a database named compmsa and a database named compmsadb, which uses a custom schema.
Embedded database: If you choose to use the embedded database, the Data Collector can only retain 30 days worth of data, and the database size cannot exceed 2 GB. Note: The embedded database is not recommended for a production environment.
Gather Required Installation Information Before installing Enterprise Manager components, print this page and record the following information.

Add Enterprise Manager s.
Configure the Data Collector to authenticate Enterprise Manager s using an Active Directory or OpenLDAP directory service.
Add Storage Center volumes.
Add servers to Storage Centers.
Add FluidFS clusters to Enterprise Manager.
Configure email notifications.
Set up remote Storage Centers and QoS.
Configure replications and Live Volumes.
Predefine your disaster recovery plan.
