Abstract

This redbook is designed to help you install, tailor, and configure the new Oracle8i Parallel Server, Release 8.1.5 (OPS), on an IBM RS/6000 SP System. It walks you through the process of creating both a small starter multi-instance database and a larger (about 1 TB) example multi-instance database. The instructions are fairly detailed and include the specific commands that are needed to accomplish the tasks at hand.

This redbook is written in cookbook style and pertains only to an IBM SP environment running AIX 4.3.2 or later and PSSP 3.1 or later. It is primarily intended for anyone responsible for:
Installing and configuring OPS
Creating a multi-instance OPS database
Administering OPS

This redbook also discusses the following topics:
Multi CPU technologies, such as SMP, clusters, and MPP (shared-nothing and shared-disk)
OPS - IBM RS/6000 SP architecture
Installing and configuring IBM Virtual Shared Disks (VSD)
