    Specify the name of the logical host created in the cluster system as 1 to 64 bytes of alphanumeric characters and the following symbols: % - _
    Execution host name
    If you have selected Standby mode in Execution mode / Standby mode, specify the name of the executing host in the cluster system as 1 to 64 bytes of alphanumeric characters and the following symbols:
    % - _
    When Execution mode is selected in Execution mode / Standby mode, this item is disabled.
  2. Set the items and then click the Next button.
    The Basic Database Settings dialog box appears.
    In this dialog box, set the connection information needed for creating the database that is used by Asset Information Manager Subset.

    Specify the path of the database area as 1 to 125 bytes of alphanumeric characters, space, and the following symbols:
    _ \ : . ( )
    Size
    Specifies the maximum size of the database used by Asset Information Manager Subset. The default is the estimate in the Estimate Capacity dialog box. Specify an integer value of 100 or more.
    If the Automatically grow check box is selected, the database size is the initial value. Specify an integer between 100 and 65535.
    Note that the size of a created database cannot be changed. To change the size, you must delete the area and then re-create the database.
    Estimate Capacity button
    You can calculate an estimate of the Asset Information Manager Subset database capacity. The calculated estimate is then entered for Size. For more information on estimating database capacity, see (4) Estimating the database capacity.
    Automatically grow
    Select this check box if you want the size of the Asset Information Manager Subset database to be increased automatically. The default is that this check box is cleared. When this check box is selected, the database size can expand automatically to a maximum of 65,535 MB.

When Database Manager of Asset Information Manager Subset is used, the following processes are executed:

Note
When the Asset Information Manager Subset database is created from the Database Manager dialog box, it is created using the collating sequence set during a custom installation of Microsoft SQL Server (or during a standard installation of Microsoft SQL Server 2008 and Microsoft SQL Server 2005).
Therefore, if you want to change the collating sequence to one other than the one set during installation, you will need to create the database manually.
