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.
Enable 4GT
Enabling 4-gigabyte tuning (4GT) increases the amount of physical memory available to memory-intensive applications running on Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition, or Windows Server 2003, Datacenter Edition.
