Adding a MySQL Instance to a Policy on a PVC Container

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|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|Creating Policies] as shown below.
