Product Environment

This section describes the six-step installation procedure for multiple OnLine
database servers on the same host machine. Before you perform this
procedure, you already should have installed one OnLine database server as
described in

contains background information that is useful for understanding this
section.

Log in as user informix. Copy

$INFORMIXDIR

/etc/tbconfig.std to a

new configuration filename.

Edit the new configuration file with an operating-system editor and
modify the four parameters that are critical to multiple residency. Do
not use

onitor.

Set your

TBCONFIG

 environment variable to the new name of the

configuration file.

(Optional) Use

DB-M

onitor to finish tuning the configuration for the

new OnLine database server.

Access

DB-M

onitor and initialize disk space for this independent

OnLine database server.

Ensure that all OnLine users have set their

TBCONFIG

 environment

variable to reflect the correct OnLine database server environment.

The tbconfig.std file is provided as a template for use in setting up additional
OnLine database servers. (Refer to

 for more details about OnLine

configuration files.) The new file that you create must also reside in the

$INFORMIXDIR

 directory. Name the file in such a way that it is easily

associated with the

SERVERNUM

value contained therein, as well as with its

function. For example, you might select the filename tbcon

to indicate

a production environment configuration file with the

SERVERNUM

value of 3.
