IEM with Remote Data Base on MS SQL cluster

Usage and Config Platform

Is there any guide on how to install IEM server using Remote DB on MS SQL Cluster?

Starting installation based on http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v26r1/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.tem.doc_9.1%2FPlatform%2FAdm%2Fc_server_installation_with_remot.html is not possible because on step 4 it’s possible to see only active host not cluster Alias name. Also IBM wikis in developerWorks with article https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/wikis/home?lang=en#!/wiki/Tivoli%20Endpoint%20Manager/page/Remote%20Database%20Guide is not covering this.

Any advice on how to do this. Could it be good idea (smart) to create MS SQL Express DB and then migrate this to Cluster and then try to point out MSSQL Cluster Alias name in registry settings or any other configuration file? Any article on this?

Answer from IBM support:

“
Remote Db on SQl cluster is not supported. It is possible to migrate dedicate Db to Cluster and change the ODBC connection but this configuration is not supported
