Prerequisites

• Install the MariaDB database according to the instructions for the downloaded MariaDB installation package.

Step-by-step instruction

Edit settings on the MariaDB server

1. Change the password for the lcmreq user, that will be created by the script below. The default password is REQreq01.

   mysql --user=root --password

4. Run the script, that creates the CMDB database, the lcmreq user and the cmdb_rw_role role, from the current interactive mode:

   CODE

   source create_db_and_role.sql >create_cmdb.log

5. Check the log file.

6. Run the script for creating the CMDB tables:

   CODE

   source create_cmdb.sql >create_cmdb.log

7. Check the log file
