Using STM
Note: When Storage Manager is configured to use LDAP authentication, then the
domain is assumed by Storage Manager based on those settings. Therefore,
when you configure the Orion Storage Manager Settings, they should not
specify the domain when filling in the Login Name field.
If you have configured LDAP authentication in Storage Manager, and configured
a domain of foodev, they will not include this in the Orion Storage Manager
Settings page,
For Example: Instead of foodev\john.doe, just use john.doe.
The user can also configure the credentials for the admin user, as that user will
be authenticated against the local Storage Manager user database, not LDAP,
regardless of whether or not LDAP authentication is enabled.
Storage Manager Database
STM is bundled with its own database server. It uses MySQL® as its central data
repository. This database server is very flexible, making database backup,
external access (via ODBC) and handling very easy tasks. For more information
regarding MySQL visit
http://www.mysql.com.
Note: Using the STM MySQL server for applications other than STM can slow
down performance and consume additional CPU devices.
MySQL Port:
STM runs MySQL database server on port 3306. SolarWinds strongly
recommends not changing this setting. Contact
http://www.solarwinds.com/support/ticket/ for assistance if you need to change it
Backing up the STM Database:
STM data backup and recovery are very simple processes. To backup your data:
1. Stop STM services.
2. Stop MySQL.
3. Make a copy of the entire data directory:
a. The default path in Windows - C:\Program Files\SolarWinds\Storage
Manager Server
Data Recovery:
In order to restore a backed-up database:
1. Stop STM services
2. Stop MySQL
