   Installing the BEA Tuxedo System

• BEA Tuxedo Core System

• BEA Tuxedo System Workstation

  Note: The BEA Tuxedo Release 7.1 Online Documentation is provided on a separate CD-ROM.

Hardware Requirements

• NCR System 3000

• 256 MB of RAM

• 1 additional MB RAM for each BEA Tuxedo application, plus 0.5 - 1 MB per application server

Software Requirements

• NCR UNIX SVR4 (MP-RAS 3.02) (no threads support)

• NCR High Performance C Compiler R3.0 (SCDE 3.03.00) (BEA Tuxedo development environment only)

• MicroFocus COBOL Version 4.1 (BEA Tuxedo development environment only)

  Note: For BEA Tuxedo Administration Console hardware and software requirements, see BEA Administration Console Requirements.

Network

• TCP/IP, using the Sockets network interface

Disk Space Requirements

Package	Disk Space Required
BEA Tuxedo software (client and server)	64500 blocks*
BEA Tuxedo Workstation only	13100 blocks*

* One block is equal to 512 bytes

To mount a CD, enter the following commands.

su
mkdir /cdrom
/etc/mount -F cdfs -r -o nmconv=m cd_device /cdrom

where cd_device is the name of the CD-ROM device file, such as /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0.

You will probably need to reconfigure the kernel before running the BEA Tuxedo system because the default values of some IPC parameters are too low. For instructions on reconfiguring, rebuilding, and rebooting, see the UnixWare System Performance Administration Guide and the idtune(1) and idbuild(1) entries in a UNIX system reference manual. You may need to increase the following parameters.

UnixWare Name	Traditional Name	Defaults
shmmax	SHMMAX	524288
shmseg	SHMSEG	6
shmmni	SHMMNI	100
semmns	SEMMNS	60
semmni	SEMMNI	10
semmsl	SEMMSL	25
semmap	SEMMAP	10
semmnu	SEMMNU	30
semume	SEMUME	10
msgmni	MSGMNI	50
msgmap	MSGMAP	100
msgmax	MSGMAX	2048
msgmnb	MSGMNB	4096
msgseg	MSGSEG	8
msgtql	MSGTQL	40
msgseg	MSGSEG	1024
nproc	NPROC	200
maxup	MAXUP	60

To change the value of a tunable parameter, complete the following procedure.

1. Acquire superuser privileges.

   su root

2. Determine (by running the idtune command) the current default value of the tunable parameter to be changed.

   /etc/conf/bin/idtune -g param

   The output of idtune lists current, default, minimum, and maximum valid values.

3. Change the parameter's value:

   /etc/conf/bin/idtune param new-value

4. If idtune fails because new-value exceeds the maximum allowed value, you must increase the maximum. (The maximum values of some parameters are set unnecessarily low in some releases of UnixWare.) To do this, edit /etc/conf/mtune.d/type, where type is shm, sem, or msg. Change the maximum value (in the last column) to the desired maximum.

5. Rebuild the operating system and reboot:

   /etc/conf/bin/idbuild -B
   cd /
   shutdown -y -g0 -i6

6. Execute idtune again and supply the desired new-value.

7. Run idbuild to build a new kernel.

   /etc/conf/bin/idbuild -B
   cd /
   shutdown -y -g0 -i6

8. Reboot your system.
