Preparing the database for Windows

You can use the following types of implementations for the Control-M database in a Windows cluster environment:

• clustered configuration: A single database installation on the cluster can be accessed by both nodes. The database files are located on the shared disk and the database server availability is controlled by the cluster.
• local database configuration: The database server is locally installed on one of the cluster nodes. Only a database client is installed on the other node.
• remote database configuration: The database is installed on a non-clustered server or on a cluster different from where Control-M is installed. In this case, only database clients are installed on each of the Control-M cluster nodes.
