Deployment Guide

You can install a new Security Management Server and connect to a SQL database created during Pre-Installation Configuration
or an existing SQL database that is v9.x or later, when the schema version matches the Security Management Server version to
be installed.
The user account from which the installation is performed must have database owner privileges for the SQL database. If you are
uncertain about access privileges or connectivity to the database, ask your database administrator to confirm these before you
begin installation.
If the existing database has previously been installed with Security Management Server, before you begin installation, ensure
that the database, configuration files, and the secretKeyStore are backed up and accessible from the server on which you are
installing Security Management Server. Access to these files is necessary to configure Security Management Server and the
existing database. The folder structure created by the installer during installation (example shown below) must remain
unchanged.
1. In the Dell installation media, navigate to the Security Management Server directory. Unzip (DO NOT copy/paste or drag/
drop) Security Management Server-x64 to the root directory of the server where you are installing the Security
Management Server.
Copying/pasting or dragging/dropping produces errors and an unsuccessful installation.
2. Double-click setup.exe.
3. Select the language for installation, then click OK.
4. If prerequisites are not already installed, a message displays to inform you of which prerequisites will be installed. Click
Install.
