The default database location for Novell Vibe is on the same server with the Vibe software, as described in Section 3.6.3, Database Location. However, for better performance and scalability, you can install the database server (MySQL, Microsoft SQL, or Oracle) on a remote server, then use the scripts that are included with the Vibe software to manually create the Vibe database in any location that you prefer.
NOTE:This section assumes that you already have a Basic installation of Vibe up and running successfully. We highly recommend that you follow the instructions in Section II, Basic Installation before attempting a more complex Vibe configuration.
