Third-party software

Figure 32 shows the various software packages that have been installed on the

RaQ 4, including the version of the Cobalt OS and any third-party software. To

see more information about the software, click the name (shown as a hypertext

link).

InterBase

The RaQ 4 is pre-loaded with InterBase 6.0, an open-source, cross-platform SQL

database from Inprise Corporation. InterBase is not enabled by default.

For more information on InterBase, go to http://www.interbase.com.

InterBase offers free development and distribution rights. Interbase offers

developers a sophisticated database with a small footprint, low maintenance cost

and high reliability.

InterBase offers a number of database features—triggers, stored procedures,

blobs, event alerters, user-deﬁned functions, multi-dimensional arrays, two-phase

commit, referential integrity, constraints and a ﬂexible set of transaction options.

Storage

The browser-based UI allows external disk storage devices on the SCSI bus to be

used as additional storage for virtual sites. The external disk storage device must

remain connected to the RaQ 4 for proper operation of the virtual sites stored on

the disk.

You can also add a second internal hard disk drive on a RaQ 4i server. See

“Adding or replacing a hard disk drive in a RaQ 4” on page 164 for installing an

internal hard disk drive. Once you have added a second drive, you have to add

(through the RaQ 4 UI) the drive to the list of available storage devices.

✍

Note: You cannot add extra internal or external storage to the base

RaQ 4 server conﬁguration.
