A database server instance acts as a data store for the applications running under a tenant domain. the container for the provisioned databases/database users. By default, you have a database server instance cluster by the name WSO2_RSS providing the storage provisioning infrastructure but individual tenants can also define their own.RSS uses Relational Storage Service of WSO2 Storage Server uses a round robin algorithm to select the next database server instance from the list pertaining to the WSO2_RSS database server instance cluster, when creating databases.
To create a server instance using the management console UI, see Database Server Instance. You can also create server instances directly in <PRODUCT_HOME>/repository/conf/etc/rss-config.xml file too. For instructions, see Changing the Default RSS Configuration.
