Caché Installation Guide - InterSystems Documentation

Installing Caché on UNIX and Linux
Note:
Combinations 4 and 5 require AIX 5.1 or later.
64-bit Caché requires combination 5.
To determine whether the CPU is 64-bit, issue the following command:
# bootinfo -y
This returns 64 for POWER3, POWER4, or POWER5 and returns 32 on older PowerPC
systems.
To determine whether the 64-bit runtime environment is installed, issue the following command:
# lslpp -l bos.64bit
To determine whether the 64-bit runtime environment is loaded at boot, issue the following
command:
# grep load64bit /etc/inittab
To determine whether the system is running the 64-bit kernel, issue the following command:
# bootinfo -K
Alternatively, confirm that /unix points to unix_64, rather than unix_up or unix_mp:
# ls -l /unix
... /unix -> /usr/lib/boot/unix_64
# file unix
unix:
symbolic link to /usr/lib/boot/unix_64
To summarize, 64-bit Caché for PowerPC AIX requires that the 64-bit runtime environment
be loaded on the 64-bit kernel; this requires AIX 5.1, or later, on POWER4, POWER5, or
equivalent hardware.
4.4.4.3 Shared Library Environment Variable for Caché Engine Link Libraries
The Caché Engine link libraries contain a batch file that references any installed C linker.
If you have either the standard UNIX C libraries or any proprietary C libraries defined in the
LIBPATH environment variable, then your environment is ready.
If not, append the paths for the standard UNIX C libraries to LIBPATH; these paths are /usr/lib
and /lib.
