This chapter lists supplemental information to

use it with the installation guide to install

.H 2 "DBA Subsystems"
|
|
..\"
|
|
.\" Each subsystem should be described in enough detail so that
|
|
.\" users can decide whether or not they need to install it.
|
|
.\" Hints such as "You need to install this subsystem if you want to use
|
|
.\" Visual System Administration Tools" or "This subsystem is useful only
|
|
.\" if you want to display Kanji characters" would be nice. For subsystems
|
|
.\" such as eoe2.sw.4Dwm that are important if you have graphics, but not
|
|
.\" important for servers and aren't marked required in the spec file (inst
|
|
.\" doesn't show + and doesn't require their installation), be sure to make
|
|
.\" this very clear in the description or in a separate list.
|
|
.\"
|
|
Following is a description of the DBA subsystems:
|
|
.VL 28
|
|
.LI "\f2dba.sw.dba\f1"
|
|
Kernel enhancements for generic database performance. This installs a
|
|
specialized async I/O mechanism currently supported with Oracle 8,
|
|
Informix, and Sybase servers. (Please see the Special Notes in section 4
|
|
of these release notes.) This subsystem replaces the
|
|
\f2eoe.sw.database_accel\f1 subsystem from previous IRIX releases.
|
|
.LI "\f2dba.sw.oracle\f1"
|
|
Specific enhancements for the Oracle database server. Features
|
|
are a post&wait driver (Oracle 7 and 8) and kernel listio (Oracle 7
|
|
only).

.H 2 "DBA Subsystem Disk Use"
|
|
.\"
|
|
.\" The size of each subsystem should be listed so that users get an idea
|
|
.\" of the disk space requirements before they get into inst.
|
|
.\"
|
|
This section lists the DBA option subsystems and their sizes.
|
|
Those subsystems marked ``default'' are selected for installation
|
|
in the distribution software. If you are installing DBA software
|
|
for the first time, these subsystems are installed if you
|
|
use the ``go'' menu item from \f2inst\f1. To select a different
|
|
set of subsystems for installation, use \f2inst\f1's ``install,''
|
|
``remove,'' ``keep,'' and ``step'' commands to customize the
|
|
selection list. Then, use the ``go'' menu item to install
|
|
the selected subsystems.
|
|

All of the subsystems for DBA can be installed using IRIX. You do not
|
|
need to use the miniroot. Refer to the \f2IRIX Software Installation
|
|
Guide\f1 for complete installation instructions. You will need to

reconfigure the system with autoconfig(8M) and reboot to complete the
|
|
installation.

|
|
Your system must be running IRIX 6.5, IRIX 6.5ASE, or a supported IRIX
|
|
6.5 maintenance release to use DBA release 3.0. You must install Patch
|
|
SG0003126 on IRIX 6.5 or IRIX 6.5ASE to enable some Database Accelerator
|
|
features. Do not install Patch SG0003126 if you are running IRIX 6.5.1
|
|
or any later release.
