Prepare the environment

This topic describes the preparations for deploying OceanBase Migration Service (OMS) Community Edition.

Procedure

1. Install Docker.

   You need to install Docker V1.13 or later on the server where OMS Community Edition is to be deployed.

2. Prepare a database to store the OMS Community Edition metadata.

   A database instance is required to persist the OMS Community Edition metadata. This database can be a MySQL database or OceanBase database. We recommend that you use an OceanBase database.

   Create a MySQL tenant in compatibility mode with 2 CPU cores and 4-GB memory in an OceanBase cluster. Record the connection information of the tenant for later use when you deploy OMS Community Edition.
