To set up a MySQL database on a Parallels Virtuozzo Containers (PVC) container, you will need to specify the following:
- Host - "Use Alternate Host Name/IP" must be checked with the host name/IP address and port details added.
- Authentication - Username and password for the MySQL Instance.
- Options - "Specify a Virtuozzo Container ID" must be checked and the container ID added below.
Follow the instructions below to add a MySQL Instance to a PVC container on your CDP Enterprise or Advanced Edition Policy.
You can also find a detailed description of the "Add New MySQL Instance" wizard in Adding a MySQL Instance to a Policy.
1. Select the "MySQL" tab in the Policy window. You can do this while creating a new Policy as shown below.
You can also select the "MySQL" tab in the "Edit Policy" window after the Policy has been saved, and even while it is running. See Editing Policies.
2. On the "MySQL" tab of the Policy window, click on the "Add New MySQL Instance" button.
3. The "Add Database Instance" wizard window will appear. Familiarize yourself with the introductory information, and click "Next" to proceed with adding the Instance.
If you see the following error message, then the database driver is not installed on your Agent.
