Loading the D3 package

Complete these instructions to load the D3 package and to run D3_setup.

1. Log in to UNIX as root.
2. Start UNIX in single user mode by entering init s.
   You will see a message similar to:

   INIT: New run level: S
   INIT: SINGLE-USER MODE
   #

3. Insert a scratch tape or floppy, as appropriate, into each unused drive for drive detection to generate the pick0 configuration tape statements.

   Do not insert a CD in the CD-ROM drive.

   • For each device, insert media that will commonly be used in operations.

     Some non-standard quarter-inch tape media is not properly recognized and causes the device to be configured as a half-inch drive. This non-standard media includes QIC-120 type tapes or DC615A short tapes, among others.

   • • If a standard tape of 150 MB to 1 GB capacity is used during this installation process, then all tapes should be usable after installation.

     • If a device is configured incorrectly, a change to the tape line in the pick0 file is required. See the D3 Configuration File Tape Statements topic in the System Administration Guide for additional information.

   • If there is a need to create an extended partition using fdisk to allow more than four total partitions, do this now, and reboot the system. Extended and logical partitions cannot be created within the D3_setup process. If required, install D3 and allocate additional disk later.

   To continue the installation, D3_setup must be run. If any errors occur during the setup process, see Installation troubleshooting.

4. Run D3_setup.

   Enter:

   /tmp/D3_setup

5. As part of the setup process, run the d3 depends program to determine whether all of the required Linux packages are installed. Respond to the prompts by entering y.
6. Specify the entire path name to D3_setup on the command line as shown in the previous example, even though the current directory is "/" .

   Do not use a relative reference, such as ./D3_setup.

   If no D3 processes are running, you will see information similar to:

   The following installation files will be used:
   
   abs:        D3_abs-lx-x.xx-.Z
   
   datafiles:  D3_datafiles-lx-x.xx-.Z 
   
   flash:      D3_flash-lx-x.xx-.Z 
   
   install:    D3_install-lx-x.xx-.Z
   
   Monitor:    D3_monitor-lx-x.xx-.Z
   
   sql:        D3_sql-lx-x.xx-.Z 
   
   Welcome to the D3 installation procedure. You have successfully installed the
   distribution files.
   
   The distribution files are used to build the D3 environment on your UNIX
   machine. When the installation process completes successfully, it can delete
   the distribution files, or leave them on the local hard disk so you can
   install D3 onto other UNIX machines on your Local Area Network without
   re-installing the media.
   
   Do you want to delete the distribution files when the installation routine is
   finished with them? _

   If D3 processes appear to be running, you will see a message similar to:

   root 1640  1  06:03:42  90/0  0:00 d3 - 58 tty90

   This message indicates there is one process (PID 1640) still running D3.
7. If any D3 processes appear to be running, complete the following steps:
   1. Kill the process that is running by entering the following command:

      kill -9 pid.number

   2. Restart the D3 installation procedure.
8. When D3_setup completes successfully, complete one of the following steps:
   • Type y to remove the installation files.
   • Type n to keep the installation files.
   • If y is typed, the distribution files are deleted and you will see this screen:

     When the install completes, the distribution files will be deleted.
     
     After this procedure, you must run the d3 command to complete the
     installation as described in the installation manual.
     
     Do you want to continue the installation? _

   • If n is typed, the distribution files will not be deleted and you will see this screen:

     When the install completes, the distribution files will NOT be deleted.
     
     After this procedure, you must run the d3 command to complete the
     installation as described in the installation manual.
     
     Do you want to continue the installation? _

9. Enter y.
