detailed instructions for external SQL server

[Steve_500]

Do you have a KB with detailed instructions for external SQL server? This is a Win2K3 install of HP SIM. With the MS SQL2000 Server on a different box.

[Rob Buxton]

There's nothing much to detail.
During the install it asks where the database is going to reside.
I think this is all covered in the installation guide, so that's probably the place to look.

[Steve_500]

it's not clear to me. Here is the section with instructions.

2. From the HP Systems Insight Manager Installer window, click Install to launch the install
process.
3. (Optional) If Microsoft SQL is not detected locally, you will be prompted to either install MSDE
2000 Service Pack 3A or continue and point to a remote SQL installation later.

And if you continue with the installation it will as for the database server name and logon credentials.

Easy enough - I have installed it to a remote SQLdb. Just make sure you have DBO assigned for that user, otherwise PMP won't work and a few other items may not.
