This MySQL database is installed locally using the packages that are bundled with the Oracle VM Manager installer. Oracle VM Manager makes use of its own version of MySQL 5.6 Enterprise Edition which is licensed for exclusive use by Oracle VM. MySQL is installed into the standard location with databases and configuration information located at /u01/app/oracle/mysql/data. The MySQL server that is installed uses a non-standard TCP Port (49500) for exclusive use by Oracle VM Manager. Do not use the bundled database for other applications.

In order to prevent potential conflicts with existing MySQL installations, The Oracle VM Manager installer requires that you remove any existing MySQL installation prior to installation. If you are running MySQL on the system where you are installing Oracle VM Manager, the installer exits to allow you to backup any existing databases and remove the existing MySQL instance before proceeding with the installation.
