If the disk drives used for ENVOX and SYBASE software contain
any other software, be sure to include the size of that software
when making your sizing estimates.
Note ...
2.9 Installation Time on AXP Systems
Table 2-8 lists the approximate times required to do complete installations
and upgrades of all software for an ENVOX system on an AXP system.
The installation times depend on the system model and configuration.
The values shown were derived from a DEC 3000 AXP workstation model
300x configured with 64 MB of system memory.
Table 2-8. Installation Time on AXP Systems
Software Function Minutes

The total time required to install and build the ENVOX system on an AXP
system is 4 to 6 hours. Once the system is installed and built, you need to
do an image backup of all disks. See section 8 for backup information.
