Runtime database access
Containerized applications can connect to the embedded runtime database.
If the appliance is using the embedded runtime database, it is possible for a containerized
application to connect to this database.
Note: It is not recommended for the
embedded runtime database to be used in a production environment. Use an external database
instead.
To use the runtime database, a new database user must first be created. Set the advanced tuning
parameter isam_cluster.tuning.hvdb.user with the new user's name and password,
separated by a colon. The advanced tuning parameters are accessed in the local management interface
through . For example, to create the testuser user, with a password of
passw0rd, set the following value for the
isam_cluster.tuning.hvdb.user advanced tuning parameter:
testuser:passw0rd. Note: After the advanced tuning parameter
is set the password within the advanced tuning parameter will be replaced with
XXX
to hide the password from future viewing. After a database is created the embedded PostgreSQL runtime database can be accessed with the
following parameters:
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Host | 10.88.0.1 |
| Port | The configured cluster first port value plus 4. The first
port value is configured in the local management interface through . For example, if the configured cluster first port value is 2020
the database can be accessed on port 2024. |
| Database | hvdb |
| User | The configured username. |
| Password | The configured password. |
