The sizes are approximate; actual sizes may vary depending on the user's system environment, configuration, and software options. CLUSTER ENVIRONMENT This layered product is fully supported when installed on any valid and licensed VAXcluster* configuration without restric- tions. The HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS sections of this product's Software Product Description and System Support Addendum detail any special hardware required by this product. * V5.x VAXcluster configurations are fully described in the VAXcluster Software Product Description (29.78.xx) and in- clude CI, Ethernet, and Mixed Interconnect configurations. SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS For Systems Using Terminals (No DECwindows Interface): o VMS Operating System V5.2 - V5.4 o VAX Rdb/VMS (Run-Time Option) V3.1 - V4.0 The Run-Time software is required for DEC RdbExpert to create and access its physical design repository. 4 DEC RdbExpert for VMS, Version 1.0 SSA 31.72.00-A For Workstations Running DECwindows: o VMS Operating System V5.4 (and necessary components of VMS DECwindows) o VAX Rdb/VMS (Run-Time Option) V3.1 - V4.0 The Run-Time software is required for DEC RdbExpert to create and access its physical design repository. VMS Tailoring For VMS V5.x systems, the following VMS classes are required for full functionality of this layered product: o VMS Required Saveset o Network Support o VMS Workstation Support For more information on VMS classes and tailoring, refer to VMS Operating System (SPD 25.01.xx). OPTIONAL SOFTWARE Certain versions of these products depend upon a specific ver- sion of the Operating System. Refer to the System Support Ad- dendum of the product in question to determine which version is necessary. o VAX Rdb/VMS Version 3.1 - V4.0 interactive or development software The VAX Rdb/VMS interactive or development software is re- quired to implement the DEC RdbExpert suggestions. o DECtrace for VMS Version 1.0 DECtrace can optionally collect database transaction workload information directly from running VAX Rdb/VMS database for use by DEC RdbExpert in generating enhanced physical designs. 5 DEC RdbExpert for VMS, Version 1.0 SSA 31.72.00-A Note: Application programs do NOT have to be coded with DECtrace procedure calls to make use of this functionality. GROWTH CONSIDERATIONS The minimum hardware/software requirements for any future ver- sion of this product may be different from the requirements for the current version.
