Configuring database instances

Maximo® Manage supports multiple databases. You must configure your database and gather the information when you deploy the application.

Before you begin

If you intend to use the database instance for production, you can select Deploy database on dedicated nodes and adjust the number of nodes as needed on the Configure page.
When you are considering the size the database, remember the following guidelines:
  • The storage class that you select can affect the size of your database. For example, if you plan to use Red Hat® OpenShift® Container Storage, it increases the storage space that you need for your database.
  • Be aware of space requirements for services, such as IBM Cloud Pak® for Data. If you deploy in a clustered environment, IBM Cloud Pak for Data space requirements change.
  • Managed versus on-premises services, such as MongoDB and Kafka, impact your disk space needs.
  • All-in-one pod bundles have different disk space requirements when compared to configuring separate resources for UI, report, cron, Maximo integration framework, and Maximo Mobile.
  • The number of concurrent users affect resource needs. For example, for the UI resource, configure a Java™ virtual machine (JVM) that has two cores to support 50–75 concurrent users.

Depending on the type of database, you must configure one of the following databases:
