Description Mike Dahlgren 2016-10-26 19:38:48 UTC 
Description of problem:

When initializing the database on a fresh CloudForms install, there is a new step(question) that is confusing and if answered incorrectly requires the appliance to be deleted and recreated.  

The question is "Do you also want to use this server as an application server?" Y/N

If the user enters in "N" then only the database is setup and any attempt to start the EVM service in the future will error.  

It should read something like "Will this server be used as only a database instance (If unsure choose N)


As of CF 5.7 beta1 when a 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible: 100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start a new CloudForms appliance
2. In Application_console, choose option "#8 Configure Database"
3. Choose "#1 Create Internal Database"
4. Choose whatever partion
5. Read text and don't choose incorrectly.

Actual results:
User is asked the question listed previously.

Expected results:
Installation message would be clearer (as described previously)
