SolarWinds SAM deployment with existing NPM datbase

campbellj1977

We are attempting to install SAM on a separate server but using the same database as NPM. NPM is already deployed and using the database. When I attempt the SAM configuration I receive the following warning;

"The database you have selected is currently being used by another SolarWinds application:

hostname

Unless you are completing an Orion server migration, you must us a different database for the SolarWinds application you are currently configuring."

Should I continue and use the database?

Using one database for two Orion servers will not work by design. at this point you only have two options:

1. Install SAM on same box as NPM

2. Continue to install SAM on new box and create new database
