Installing and Upgrading ENVOX r Configuration Software on DEC VAX and DEC AXP Systems (Revision B — May 1998)
2.8 Software and Disk Space Requirements for AXP
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 the ENVOX software on a DEC AXP system, a minimum of 64
Mbytes of memory is required. However, to optimize system performance,
a system with a minimum of 128 Mbytes of memory is recommended.
The minimum disk space requirements on two disks for all of the software
used in an ENVOX system are:
J System disk — 1 Gbyte for OpenVMS, CHIP, ENVOX software, and
transaction logs plus the disk space for other PROVOX system
end-user applications.
J Second disk — 1 Gbyte for SYBASE software and the main ENVOX
database plus the disk space for other PROVOX system end-user
applications.
Table 2-6 lists the software modules and the minimum disk sizing required
for an ENVOX system. The software module size is listed in blocks: one
block equals 512 bytes.

If you have a Type DH6215 Computer/Highway Interface Package (CHIP
DEC OpenVMS VAX) or a Type DH6219 Computer/Highway Interface
Package (CHIP DEC OpenVMS AXP) on your current system, use
Table 2-7 to estimate the required memory and disk space size. Add the
