2. _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n__I_n_f_o_r_m_a_t_i_o_n
This chapter lists supplemental information to the _I_R_I_S
_S_o_f_t_w_a_r_e _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n _G_u_i_d_e. The information listed here is
product- and release-specific; use it with the Installation
Guide to install this product.
2.1 _A_r_r_a_y__S_e_r_v_i_c_e_s__S_u_b_s_y_s_t_e_m_s
Array Services 3.2 is installed as "arraysvcs", and contains
the following subsystems:
_a_r_r_a_y_s_v_c_s._s_w._a_v_i_e_w ArrayView, the graphical array
monitor. This is an X-based
tool for monitoring the status
of the various machines in an
array and for performing basic
job control functions on array
sessions.
_a_r_r_a_y_s_v_c_s._s_w._b_a_s_e The basic array services
software. This includes the
array services daemon and
several client programs. This
subsystem is required for any
system that wishes to take
advantage of the array
services.
_a_r_r_a_y_s_v_c_s._s_w._d_e_v Header files for developers
who wish to take advantage of
the array services via the
array services library,
libarray. This subsystem is
_n_o_t required for normal
operation of the array
services.
_a_r_r_a_y_s_v_c_s._s_w._d_s_o Dynamic Shared Object
libraries for array services.
This subsystem is also
required for any system that
wishes to take advantage of
the array services. Both O32
and N32 libraries are
included.
_a_r_r_a_y_s_v_c_s._s_w_6_4._d_s_o Array services library for the
N64 ABI. This is only
necessary on systems that have
N64 applications which make
- 2 -
use of array services.
_a_r_r_a_y_s_v_c_s._m_a_n._b_a_s_e Man pages for the basic array
services client and server
software.
_a_r_r_a_y_s_v_c_s._m_a_n._d_e_v Man pages for the array
services library functions.
_a_r_r_a_y_s_v_c_s._m_a_n._r_e_l_n_o_t_e_s The release notes for Array
Services 3.2.
2.2 _A_r_r_a_y__S_e_r_v_i_c_e_s__S_u_b_s_y_s_t_e_m__D_i_s_k__S_p_a_c_e__R_e_q_u_i_r_e_m_e_n_t_s
This section lists the subsystems (and their sizes) of
arraysvcs.
If you are installing this product for the first time, the
subsystems marked ``default'' are the ones that are
installed if you use the ``go'' menu item. To install a
different set of subsystems, use the ``install,''
``remove,'' ``keep,'' and ``step'' commands in _i_n_s_t to
customize the list of subsystems to be installed, then
select the ``go'' menu item.
Note: The listed subsystem sizes are approximate. Refer to
the _I_R_I_S _S_o_f_t_w_a_r_e _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n _G_u_i_d_e for information
on finding exact sizes.
Subsystem Name Subsystem Size

_a_r_r_a_y_s_v_c_s._m_a_n._b_a_s_e (default) 110
_a_r_r_a_y_s_v_c_s._m_a_n._d_e_v 100

2.3 _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n__M_e_t_h_o_d
All of the subsystems for arraysvcs can be installed using
IRIX. You do not need to use the miniroot. Refer to the
_I_R_I_S _S_o_f_t_w_a_r_e _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n _G_u_i_d_e for complete installation
instructions.
2.4 _P_r_e_r_e_q_u_i_s_i_t_e_s
Your system must be running at least IRIX 6.2 in order to
use Array Services 3.2.
If you want to install ArrayView, you must also have the
ViewKit_eoe.sw.base, desktop_eoe.sw.envm and c++_eoe.sw.lib
subsystems installed. These are available as part of the
IRIX distribution.
2.5 _C_o_m_p_a_t_i_b_i_l_i_t_y
The arraysvcs product is not compatible with the
arraysvcs_53 product from earlier releases of Array
Services, and should not be installed on on the same system
at the same time.
2.6 _C_o_n_f_i_g_u_r_a_t_i_o_n__F_i_l_e_s
Many of the array services rely on configuration information
contained in the file ////uuuussssrrrr////lllliiiibbbb////aaaarrrrrrrraaaayyyydddd....ccccoooonnnnffff. This file
contains information about which arrays are present, the
machines in each of those arrays, and what commands can be
executed across an array. Please see the _a_r_r_a_y_d._c_o_n_f(4) man
pages for detail on setting up this file.
2.7 _O_t_h_e_r__I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n__I_n_f_o_r_m_a_t_i_o_n
The array services will not become active until they are
enabled with the _c_h_k_c_o_n_f_i_g(1) command:
_cccc_hhhh_kkkk_cccc_oooo_nnnn_ffff_iiii_gggg _aaaa_rrrr_rrrr_aaaa_yyyy _oooo_nnnn
It is not necessary to reboot the system after installing
the array services, to make them active, but if you do not
reboot, it will be necessary to restart them manually. To
do so, use the command:
_////_eeee_tttt_cccc_////_iiii_nnnn_iiii_tttt_...._dddd_////_aaaa_rrrr_rrrr_aaaa_yyyy _ssss_tttt_aaaa_rrrr_tttt
