In-Depth Information
As described previously, using a supported database instance requires that you have
already created the database and ODBC DSN. If you haven't created the ODBC DSN yet,
you'll need to exit the installation, create the DSN, and restart the installation.
10.
The next screen prompts you for user credentials to connect to the database specii ed in
the DSN and coni gured for use by VUM. Supply the username and password for the
SQL login you created before starting the installation, as shown in Figure 4.3.

Supply the correct
username and pass-
word for the VUM
database.
11.
If the SQL Server database is set to the Full recovery model (the default), a dialog box
pops up warning you about the need for regular backups.
Click OK to dismiss the dialog box and continue with the installation, but be sure to
arrange for regular backups of the database. Otherwise, the database transaction logs
could grow to consume all available space.
12.
Unless there is a need to change the default port settings, leave the default settings, as
shown in Figure 4.4. If there is a proxy server that controls access to the Internet, click
the check box labeled Yes, I Have Internet Connection And I Want To Coni gure Proxy
Settings Now. Otherwise, if there isn't a proxy or if you don't know the correct proxy con-
i guration, leave the box deselected, and click Next.
Configuring Proxy Settings During Installation
If you forget to select the box to confi gure proxy settings during installation, fear not! All is not
lost. After you install VUM, you can use the vSphere Client to set the proxy settings accordingly.
Just be aware that VUM's fi rst attempt to download patch information will fail because it can't
access the Internet.
