Install the Server Cluster Database

This first part of the install process establishes a PostgreSQL database; this includes a service that automatically starts the database upon installation. Configuration of the database is required, which includes selecting the location of the database, port configuration, and database user and password assignment.

Please Note!
  • Password complexity must meet the requirements as defined by the operating system hosting the database or this installation will fail.
  • Additional database configuration may be required if you already have the PostgreSQL database installed. Do not proceed with this installation until you have contacted Support.
  • Ensure that the firewall on the machine that is hosting the database allows connections from all other remote computers that are part of the Server Cluster. Whichever directory the database will be created in must have the proper permissions for users to access that directory.
  • For Linux, the Database installation must be done as root.
