Database Prerequisites

Before you install Quantum Fabric Console Installer, you must perform the following pre-installation tasks:

• Ensure that you have access to a database server.
• The database user must be granted all required permissions based on this document.
• To use your existing SSL certificate, map the SSL certificate to the domain name that you want to use.
• To install in domain (multi-node) mode, the JBoss cluster must be preconfigured.

Based on the database that you want to use, refer to any of the following sections:

• Oracle
• SQL Server
• MS SQL
• MySQL
• PostgreSQL

Steps before installing (or) upgrading Fabric with an existing database

Perform the following activities before installing (or) upgrading Quantum Fabric with the existing database:

• Take a backup of your database.
• Make sure you have a previously installed directory.
• Take a backup of the applications that are deployed at the server level. After the installation is complete, take a backup of the changes that were made to the binaries.
• After the installation or upgrade process is complete, replace the old authService.key, workspaceService.key, and ACCOUNTS_ENCRYPTION_KEY keys.
  This is only applicable for the identity and workspace components.

Create /tmp Folder

Quantum Fabric Installer requires a /tmp folder in a Linux environment to unpack the installer. When the /tmp folder is not found, the Installer displays an I/O exception at the time of unpack exception.

This must be specified in the pre-req of installation. Installation requires temp folder to unpack MF installer (either default / custom temp folder).
