Procedure 3.6. Configuring the Manager to use a Manually Configured Local or Remote PostgreSQL Database

1. During configuration of the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager using the engine-setup script, you are prompted to decide where your database is located:

   Where is the database located? (Local, Remote) [Local]:

   The steps involved in manually configuring the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manger to use local or remotely hosted databases are the same, except that to use a remotely hosted database, you must provide the host name of the remote database server and the port on which it is listening.
2. When prompted, enter Manual to manually configure the database:

   Would you like Setup to automatically configure postgresql, or prefer to perform that manually? (Automatic, Manual) [Automatic]: Manual

3. If you are using a remotely hosted database, supply the engine-setup script with the host name of your database server and the port on which it is listening:

   Database host [localhost]:
   Database port [5432]:

4. For both local and remotely hosted databases, you are then prompted to confirm whether your database uses a secured connection, and for the name of the database you configured, the user the Manager will use to access the database, and the password of that user.

   Database secured connection (Yes, No) [No]: 
   Database name [engine]: 
   Database user [engine]: 
   Database password:

   Note

   Using a secured connection to your database requires you to have also manually configured secured database connections.
