Installation Requirements

Before MXCS is installed and configured, you must verify that the following are valid

and present in your environment, in addition to the installation requirements specified

for SQL/MX:

Requirement Description

Operating system The server components must be installed on a NonStop

system running using an operating system version G06.23 or higher.

OSS Open System Services (OSS) must be installed and configured. This

is necessary because the MXCS SQL servers and the SQL/MX

compiler and executors run in an OSS environment.

In addition, the root fileset must be already added and mounted, as

required by SQL/MX. For more information, see the Open System

Services Installation Guide.

Safeguard (optional) Safeguard must be installed if you want to preserve the NonStop

ODBC Server user id names or use name aliases. This product

maps the Guardian user IDs to Safeguard alias names.

SQL/MP To use SQL/MP tables, SQL/MP must be installed and initialized.

For more information, see the SQL/MP Installation and Management

Guide.

SQL/MX To use SQL/MX, SQL/MX 2.0 must be installed and initialized.

Swap space The swap space configured for each processor must be at least the

following to meet the SQL/MX requirements:

MXCI requirements * ( 2 + Max number of ODBC

servers to be running )

MXCI requirements is the memory required by SQL/MX to run MXCI.

For information on how to calculate this, see the SQL/MX Installation

and Management Guide.

Two servers are added to the maximum number of ODBC servers

you want to run to accommodate the MXCS configuration and the

association servers.

When calculating swap space, HP recommends that you add 20

percent additional space for overhead.

Requirement Description

TCP/IP TCP/IP must be installed; it is required by MXCS. For more

information, see the TCP/IP Configuration and Management Guide.

TFDS TFDS must be installed; it is required by MXCS for reporting

exception errors and program errors from which the system cannot

recover. For more information, see the Tandem Failure Data System

(TFDS) Manual.
