Using the InstallSqlmx Script

The InstallSqlmx script:

•

Verifies that all processors on the system are valid processor types for Release 2.1

or Release 2.0. If InstallSqlmx detects a problem, it generates an Install

error message that identifies the processor or processors that do not meet

hardware requirements. For information about this error message, see the

SQL/MX Messages Manual. For information about hardware requirements for

Release 2.1 and Release 2.0, see Hardware Requirements on page 2-2.

•

Verifies that SQL/MX objects have been laid down correctly from the SUT

installation.

•

Creates an anchor file that specifies the volume location of system metadata

tables.

•

After creating the anchor file, InstallSqlmx assigns a security of “N---” to the

anchor file.

•

Initializes NonStop SQL/MX after successfully creating the anchor file.

•

Implements the national character set specified with the -n option.

•

Initializes the NonStop SQL/MX Connectivity Service (MXCS) after successfully

initializing NonStop SQL/MX.

•

Verifies that the system metadata tables have been created in the specified

volume.

•

Performs FCHECK on all volumes on the local node to locate and possibly correct

the labels of SQL/MP tables with added columns.

The Phases of InstallSqlmx

Table 3-2 on page 3-24 describes the six phases of activity performed by

InstallSqlmx. If InstallSqlmx cannot successfully initialize NonStop SQL/MX, it

aborts.

Caution. The person who runs InstallSqlmx must have super ID (SUPER.SUPER)

privileges on the affected node. InstallSqlmx does not support user aliases of SUPER.SUPER.

Note. After InstallSqlmx assigns a security of “N---” to the anchor file, the super ID user

should not change this setting.
