2. _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n__I_n_f_o_r_m_a_t_i_o_n
This chapter lists supplemental information to the _I_R_I_Xr
_S_o_f_t_w_a_r_e _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n _G_u_i_d_e. The information listed here is
product-specific; use it with the installation guide to
install this product.
2.1 _D_B_A__S_u_b_s_y_s_t_e_m_s
Following is a description of the DBA subsystems:
_d_b_a._s_w._d_b_a 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
_e_o_e._s_w._d_a_t_a_b_a_s_e__a_c_c_e_l subsystem
from previous IRIX releases.
_d_b_a._s_w._o_r_a_c_l_e Specific enhancements for the
Oracle database server. Features
are a post&wait driver (Oracle 7
and 8) and kernel listio (Oracle
7 only).

2.2 _D_B_A__S_u_b_s_y_s_t_e_m__D_i_s_k__U_s_e
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 _i_n_s_t. To
select a different set of subsystems for installation, use
_i_n_s_t's ``install,'' ``remove,'' ``keep,'' and ``step''
commands to customize the selection list. Then, use the
``go'' menu item to install the selected subsystems.
Note: The listed subsystem sizes are approximate. Refer to
the _I_R_I_X _S_o_f_t_w_a_r_e _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n _G_u_i_d_e for information
on finding exact sizes.

_d_b_a._m_a_n._d_b_a (default) 8
_d_b_a._m_a_n._r_e_l_n_o_t_e_s (default) 20
_d_b_a._s_w._d_b_a (default) 220
_d_b_a._s_w._o_r_a_c_l_e 52
2.3 _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n__M_e_t_h_o_d
All of the subsystems for DBA can be installed using IRIX.
You do not need to use the miniroot. Refer to the _I_R_I_X
_S_o_f_t_w_a_r_e _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n _G_u_i_d_e for complete installation
instructions. You will need to reconfigure the system with
autoconfig(8M) and reboot to complete the installation.
2.4 _P_r_e_r_e_q_u_i_s_i_t_e_s
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.
/_v_a_r/_s_y_s_g_e_n/_m_a_s_t_e_r._d/_p_o_s_t_w_a_i_t You may want to modify this
file if you plan to run more than 4 Oracle databases
on your system, or if you plan to have more than 512
back-end server processes for a database. This file
is unchanged from previous DBA releases.
/_v_a_r/_s_y_s_g_e_n/_m_a_s_t_e_r._d/_k_a_i_o You may want to modify this file
if you plan to run a very I/O-intensive database on
your system. This file is unchanged from previous
releases.
2.5 _O_t_h_e_r__I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n__I_n_f_o_r_m_a_t_i_o_n
While it is not necessary to install this product from the
miniroot, it is necessary to reboot your system in order to
complete the installation for _d_b_a._s_w._d_b_a or _d_b_a._s_w._o_r_a_c_l_e.
