We have tried to deploy a Vmware Identity Manager appliance (V2.71 and v2.8) for a Pilot Installation, but we are ending always in the same issue. To have the ability to do a load balancing we decided to use a external Microsoft SQL Server 2008 instance named VDI for the saas database. We used the SQL script provided in several Blogs to produce the saas database.
If we use the appliance the Setup wizard we stop at the database jdbc con Connection string ( we use something like that: jdbc:sqlserver://192.168.5.175\VDI:1433;databaseName=saas;)
If we are testing the Connection, the wizard gui ist showing up, everthing is ok, but if we configure the database connection, the service restart is ending with a error message.
The intermediate wizard tells up that the System is waiting for a service restart (1/5, 2/5, 3/5, 4/5 and 5/5)
We have a look at the saas database on the MS SQL database and no tables or views were created, nevertheless the user horizon has sufficient rights.
We need help to deal with this issue. At least anyone could tell us where the log files for the database reside on the idm appliance?
