ObjectStore Installation and Configuration Utilities Dialog Samples

Sample osconfig Dialog

The following provides an example of the osinstal dialog with annotations of optional responses to the utility prompts. Utility prompts appear in red, and user responses appear in red boldface type. Annotations are interspersed in the dialog sample and indicated by the accompanying Note:

Before you configure be sure to set OS_ROOTDIR to wherever you installed ObjectStore. For example, based on the sample installation,


# OS_ROOTDIR=/h/kellen/2/install.sol2c4.test/ostore
# export OS_ROOTDIR
or, in csh,

# setenv OS_ROOTDIR /h/kellen/2/install.sol2c4.test/ostore
Configuring an ObjectStore Client

Enter the following to initiate the ObjectStore configuration utility to configure an ObjectStore client system.

# cd $OS_ROOTDIR/bin
# ./osconfig client
The default copy of ObjectStore to configure is in
/h/kellen/2/install.sol2c4.test/ostore.
Is this the copy that you want to configure? [yes]
Note: Press Return to accept the default [yes].


ObjectStore includes shared libraries. For ObjectStore applications
and utilities to work, the dynamic linker must be able to find them.
The recommended arrangement is to have symbolic links
in /usr/lib to the shared libraries.
If you choose not to make these links, then you will
have to instruct all ObjectStore users to add
/h/kellen/2/install.sol2c4.test/ostore/lib
to their LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.

Do you want to create links to ObjectStore libraries in /usr/lib? [yes]
no
No links will be created.

This script will now verify the installation:

The ObjectStore Server daemon process is accessible.
Schema databases are accessible.

The cache manager launcher for release 4 
(/h/kellen/2/install.sol2c4.test/ostore/lib/oscminit)
has correct modes and ownership.
ObjectStore configuration completed.
  
 Configuring an ObjectStore 

Running osconfig with the server option configures the client and a file-database server.


# ./osconfig server
The default copy of ObjectStore to configure is in
/h/kellen/2/install.sol2c4.test/ostore.
Is this the copy that you want to configure? [yes]
Note: Press Return to accept the default [yes].

have to instruct all ObjectStore users to add
/h/kellen/2/install.sol2c4.test/ostore/lib
to their LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.

Do you want to create links to ObjectStore libraries in /usr/lib? [yes]
no
Since you have requested a File-database configuration,
you must give a pathname for the transaction log file.
Where do you want to put the transaction log?
/h/kellen/2/install.sol2c4.test/trans.log
 
You have configured this machine to run an ObjectStore server.
The server's transaction log is in /h/kellen/2/install.sol2c4.test/trans.log
Do you want to proceed? [yes]
Note: Press Return to accept the default [yes].

Writing configuration files and initializing the server, please wait...
980326 164428 ObjectStore Release 5.1 Database Server
The ObjectStore server is running.
 
ObjectStore includes a server daemon which must be running
for any application to access an ObjectStore database.
It is recommended that you auto-start the daemon via commands
in your operating system startup scripts. If you do not configure
automatic startup, you will have to start the server daemon by hand,
or re-run this utility to configure auto-start.
 
Would you like to configure automatic server startup and shutdown? [yes]
no
This script will now verify the installation:

The ObjectStore Server daemon process is accessible.
Schema databases are accessible.
 
The cache manager launcher for release 4 
(/h/kellen/2/install.sol2c4.test/ostore/lib/oscminit)
has correct modes and ownership.
ObjectStore configuration completed.
  
 Configuring ObjectStore rawfs 

If you are uncertain whether to configure a rawfs space, discuss it with your administrator, or contact Object Design's Technical Support organization for detailed infoirmation.

When you initiate osconfig rawfs, it configures client and rawfs server


# ./osconfig rawfs
The default copy of ObjectStore to configure is in
/h/kellen/2/install.sol2c4.test/ostore.
Is this the copy that you want to configure? [yes]
Note: Press Return to accept the default [yes].

have to instruct all ObjectStore users to add
/h/kellen/2/install.sol2c4.test/ostore/lib
to their LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.

Do you want to create links to ObjectStore libraries in /usr/lib? [yes]
no
No links will be created.
 
Since you have requested a rawfs configuration,
you must supply the type of rawfs partition and
a pathname to the partition file.
 
Please note that if you specify a regular file
pathname, this file will be created, or overwritten,
if it does not already contain rawfs data.
 
 
The following rawfs options are available:
1. Create File rawfs (UNIX)
2. Create Device rawfs (PARTITION)
 
Please enter your selection [1-2] or Q to quit osconfig:
1
Please enter the partition file pathname: 
/h/kellen/2/install.sol2c4.test/ostore_file_db
 
You have configured this machine to run ObjectStore servers.
The rawfs partition is in /h/kellen/2/install.sol2c4.test/ostore_file_db.
 
Do you want to proceed? [yes]
Note: Press Return to accept the default [yes].

Writing configuration files and initializing the server, please wait...
 
Checking rawfs to see if it needs to be upgraded...
 
The rawfs in /h/kellen/2/install.sol2c4.test/ostore_file_db is apparently 
uninitialized.
Do you want to initialize /h/kellen/2/install.sol2c4.test/ostore_file_db now? 
[yes]
Note: Press Return to accept the default [yes].

Rawfs initialization complete.

The following sample shows how osconfig check verifies the configuration.


# ./osconfig check
