3.5.3 PolyServe MxS Oracle Database Solution Pack Release Notes (August 2008)

Installation and Operation 3
3. Install MxODM 3.5.3. (Be sure to install the RPM corresponding to
your architecture.) Type the following command as user root:
# rpm -ivh <mountpoint>/odm-3.5.3-<xxxx>.<arch>.rpm
The installation procedure will verify that all of the prerequisites for the
product are met. The verification step will notify you of any problems
that it detects.
If the verification is successful, you will see a message listing the actions
to take place during the installation. When you answer yes, the
installation will proceed.
MxODM includes two man pages. A separate RPM containing only the
man pages is provided in the product distribution. If you want other
servers in the cluster to have local copies of the man pages, install the
man pages RPM on those servers.
# rpm -i <mountpoint>/odm-man-3.5.3-<xxxx>.<arch>.rpm
Relink Oracle with MxODM Installed
If it becomes necessary to relink Oracle to apply a one-off Oracle patch or
to enable a new database option, you must uninstall MxODM prior to the
relinking operation. After the relinking is finished, simply re-install
MxODM. Your site-specific modifications to such files as odm.conf will be
preserved automatically during this operation.

This release of MxODM has been tested on systems configured with 32GB
RAM. For Oracle, Very Large Memory (VLM) systems are generally used
in one of the following ways:
• Very large SGA buffer pools
