Prepare a Sitecore 8.2 on-premise environment for Managed Cloud xDB
The Sitecore Managed Cloud xDB supports scaled content management (CM) and content delivery (CD) servers. When you prepare an on-premise environment, you do not set the database connection strings because you do this later when you configure the xDB Cloud client and connection to the xDB Cloud service.
This procedure describes how to prepare a scaled on-premise Sitecore environment. To prepare a standalone Sitecore instance, or to prepare a Sitecore 9.0 on-premise environment for Managed Cloud xDB, see the Sitecore documentation.
To prepare a local, scaled on-premise Sitecore environment:
