Remote database server configuration

When the database server is located on a remote node (not one of the cluster nodes), a database client can be installed on each of the cluster nodes and which can then be connected to the remote database server. In this type of implementation, except for the database client, additional database software does not need to be installed on the cluster.

This configuration is common when database platforms reside in a centralized location. However, the availability of Control‑M in this type of configuration is tied to and dependent upon the remote database server availability.
