<title>Install the Database on a Separate Node</title>
<para>This section describes how to install MySQL on a standalone machine, separate from the Management Server.
This technique is intended for a deployment that includes several Management Server nodes.
If you have a single-node Management Server deployment, you will typically use the same node for MySQL.
See <xref linkend="management-server-install-db-local"/>.
</para>
<note>
<para>The management server doesn't require a specific distribution for the MySQL node.
You can use a distribution or Operating System of your choice.
Using the same distribution as the management server is recommended, but not required.
See <xref linkend="management-server-system-requirements"/>.

<listitem><para>Edit the MySQL configuration (/etc/my.cnf or /etc/mysql/my.cnf, depending on your OS)
and insert the following lines in the [mysqld] section. You can put these lines below the datadir
line. The max_connections parameter should be set to 350 multiplied by the number of Management
Servers you are deploying. This example assumes two Management Servers.</para>
<note>
<para>On Ubuntu, you can also create a file /etc/mysql/conf.d/cloudstack.cnf and add
these directives there. Don't forget to add [mysqld] on the first line of the
file.</para>
