This step allows you to select the Foglight database type. The server on which the database is located must be running before you complete this step.At the completion of this step, the installer creates the user (foglight is the default user ID) in the database and sets the appropriate permissions.

If you install and configure a MySQL® database instance as an external database and this instance is to run on a different machine than the one hosting the server, select the MySQL option to make the database accessible remotely.
If the Management Server you are installing is configured to be part of an HA cluster, you must also configure it to connect to the same database instance as all other members of the cluster. This typically means that you set Host, Port, and Database Name to the same values as those used for the other members. In some rare cases, certain settings might be different. For example, the value for Host might be different if there is a firewall between the database and certain members of the cluster in your environment.
