Complete these instructions to load the D3 package and to run D3_setup.
To load the D3 package:
Log in to UNIXas root.
Start UNIX in single user mode by entering init s.
The system displays a similar message:
INIT: New run level: S INIT: SINGLE-USER MODE # |
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 which 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.
then continue to the next topic in this section.
To continue the installation, D3_setup must be run. If any errors occur during the setup process, see Installation Troubleshooting.
To run D3_setup, execute these commands:
Run D3_setup. Enter:
/tmp/D3_setup |
As part of the setup process, the d3 depends program is run to determine whether all of the required Linux packages are installed. Respond to the prompts by entering y.
Specify the entire path name to D3_setup on the command line as shown in the example above even though the current directory is "/". Do not use a relative reference, such as ./D3_setup.
NOTE |
If any D3 processes appear to be running, the system displays a similar message:
This indicates there is one process (PID 1640) still running D3. Kill the process that is running by entering the command below and then restart the D3 installation procedure:

If no D3 processes are running, the system display is 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? _ |
D3_setup displays the installation files that it uses to build the database on the machine. When the installation process completes successfully, it can delete the distribution files, or leave them on the local hard disk. Leaving the files on the local hard disk makes it easier to install D3 on another UNIX machine on the Local Area Network without reinstalling the media. This provides easy access to the ABS and datafiles if you need them later.
When D3_setup completes successfully, type either y to remove the installation files, or n to keep them.
If n is typed, the distribution files will not be deleted, and this screen displays:
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? _ |
If y is typed, the distribution files are deleted, and this screen displays:
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? _ |
Enter y.
