Perform the following tasks before you install Sybase IQ.
You may need to refer to your operating system documentation for
specific commands.
Increase the Swap Space
The recommended minimum swap space to run Sybase IQ is at least 1GB. Certain operations may cause the memory used by Sybase IQ to grow dynamically. Changing the way Sybase IQ uses buffers can dramatically change the way it uses memory.
Sybase IQ May Require a New License Server
Sybase IQ requires SySAM license server version v11.6.1 or later, which is distributed on the Sybase IQ Server Suite installation media. Using an older SySAM server can cause the Sybase IQ server to become unresponsive. Install the license server before you install Sybase IQ.
Increase the Maximum User Processes
For new installations, the default setting is 40. For a production system, set this value to a minimum of 250. See your operating system documentation for information on setting this parameter.
Installing the IBM XL C/C++ Redistributable Libraries
Sybase IQ depends on some redistributable libraries included with IBM XL C/C++ V9.0 and higher. If you are using an XL C/C++ compiler that is less than version 9.0, you must update your environment to install and support these libraries.
Install IFIX IZ16878
