The sizes are approximate; actual sizes may vary depending on the user's system environment, configuration and software options selected. Additional space must be allowed space for programs, logs, and temporary database cache files, and user interface software such as VAX Data Distributor and VAX DATATRIEVE. CLUSTER ENVIRONMENT This product is fully supported when installed on any valid and licensed VAXcluster* configuration without restrictions. The HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS sections of this product's Software Product Description and System Support Addendum detail any special hardware required by this product. * VAXcluster configurations are fully described in the VAXclus- ter Software Product Description (SPD 29.78.xx) and include CI, Ethernet and Mixed Interconnect configurations. SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS o VMS Operating System V5.2 - V5.4 o VAX Rdb/VMS V3.1 * o DECnet-VAX V5.2 - V5.4 3 DEC RdbAccess for ORACLE on VMS, Version 1.0 SSA 32.80.00-A * NOTE. At least one VAX Rdb/VMS full development license must be installed on the network, although VAX Rdb/VMS does not need to be installed on the same node as RdbAc- cess for ORACLE. RdbAccess for ORACLE must be installed on the same node as an ORACLE DBMS instance. To access ORACLE data from nodes in a network other than a node on which RdbAccess is installed, either VAX Rdb/VMS De- velopment Option, VAX Rdb/VMS Interactive Option, or VAX Rdb/VMS Run-Time Only Option software must be installed on the node from which the user initiates the access. Refer- ence VAX Rdb/VMS (SPD 25.59.xx) for more information on runtime, interactive, and full development options. Other Software RdbAccess for ORACLE does not include a user interface. Refer to the Optional Software section for choices.
