Installing and Upgrading ENVOX r Configuration Software on DEC VAX and DEC AXP Systems (Revision B — May 1998)
2.6 Software and Disk Space Requirements for VAX
Systems
While it is possible to install all of ENVOX, SYBASE, and the
other required software on a single disk, it is recommended for
best system performance that the software be installed on two
disks, as described below.
Note ...
To install ENVOX software on a DEC VAX system, a minimum of 32
Mbytes of memory is required. The minimum disk space requirements on
two disks for all of the software used in the ENVOX system are:
J System disk — 426 Mbytes for OpenVMS, CHIP, ENVOX software,
and transaction logs plus the space required for other PROVOX
end-user applications.
J Second disk — 230 Mbytes for SYBASE software and the main
ENVOX database. You must also allow enough space for other
databases which you wish to place on the second disk.
Table 2-3 lists the software modules and the minimum disk sizing required
for a standard ENVOX system. Extra disk space will be required for
additional or larger ENVOX databases. The software module size is listed
in blocks: one block equals 512 bytes.

Transaction log 42,000
Second SYBASE 179,000
Main ENVOX database 250,000
1. See Table 2-4 for CHIP database requirements
2. ENVOX upgrades require 7000 extra blocks on the system disk and 50000 temporary blocks
for installation
If you have a Type DH6215 Computer/Highway Interface Package (CHIP
DEC VAX/VMS) on your current system, use Table 2-4 to estimate the
required memory and disk space size. Add the size of CHIP to the size of
the software required by the ENVOX system to see if your system has
enough space for both the CHIP and ENVOX software.
