Machine Specific Notes
======================
1. This product was built on HP-UX 11i V3 (aka 11.31) Itanium using the
following compilers:
HP C/aC++ B3910B A.06.26 [Apr 12 2011]
and with the following packages:
Bundle Name Description
----------- -----------
B9007AA C.11.31.06 HP C/aC++ Developer's Bundle
BUNDLE B.2011.08.04 Patch Bundle
2. For shared library support, environment variable SHLIB_PATH needs to be set
to include the $INFORMIXDIR/lib/cli directories where INFORMIX ODBC
shared libraries are installed.
(for Bourne or Korn Shell)
SHLIB_PATH=$INFORMIXDIR/lib/cli:$INFORMIXDIR/lib/esql:$SHLIB_PATH
export SHLIB_PATH
(for C Shell)
setenv SHLIB_PATH $INFORMIXDIR/lib/cli:$INFORMIXDIR/lib/esql:$SHLIB_PATH
3. The thread safe INFORMIX ODBC libraries are supported for the current
release.
4. Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM)
PAM functionality is supported on HP-UX operating systems. The PAM is
dependent on the libpam.so library supplied by the Operating System vendor.
Use of PAM can be enabled or disabled by the system administrator. By
default, IBM IDS will use the traditional authentication mechanism in
order to avoid widespread changes required by the users.
The PAM service identifies the PAM module. This PAM module typically
resides in /usr/lib/security and its parameters are listed in
/etc/pam.conf.
5. IPv6 Support
The product supports Internet Protocol Version 6 (128 Bit Internet Addresses)
as well as IPv4 (32 Bit Addresses).
In order for the machine name specified in the SQLHOSTS file to resolve
to the correct IP address, the name services files on the Operating System
should be correctly configured. If the machine has IPv6 address configured
and the listener thread is bound to an IPv6 address, then the name
resolution files /etc/netsvc.conf should be configured to fetch IPv6
address. Also use the appropriate /etc/hosts setting if local machine
settings are used.
For compatibility with older IBM Informix client and server products,
assign the same hostname with both an IPv4 address and an IPv6 address.
If the listener needs to be bound to an IPv4 address and the name services
resolve the name in the order of the IPv6 address followed by IPv4 address,
then an explicit IPv4 address needs to be put in nodename field of SQLHOSTS
file. Client applications should also use the same setting.
