4 1 Overview This document describes how to install and configure the MySQL 5.6 database in Windows Server 2008 R2. The installation procedures for MySQL databases of other versions might vary. For more information, see their respective installation and configuration guides. IMPORTANT: Before you install IMC, you must install and start the MySQL server. If IMC is deployed in distributed mode, the master and subordinate IMC servers must use the same MySQL server as the database server. 4 Overview

5 2 Prerequisites Before the installation, copy the installation program to the Windows server. This document uses the installation program mysql-installer-community msi. The installation procedures for the MySQL server of other versions might vary. For more information, see their respective installation and configuration guides. Make sure Microsoft.Net Framework 4 has been installed before you install the MySQL server or client on the Windows server system. 5

6 3 Installation If IMC will use a local database, install the MySQL server on the same server where you install IMC. If IMC will use a remote database server, install the MySQL server on the database server and install the MySQL client on the same server as IMC. The MySQL client must be installed before you install IMC. During IMC installation, you must select other server and specify the server address to test the database connection.
