Installing UniVerse 10.3 (Personal Edition) on CentOS 6.3 amd64

A guide for installing the UniVerse database system on a RedHat flavored distribution.

Installation Pre-requisites

As the database server is being installed to a 64bit system, some 32bit libraries are required for the installation to succeed.

yum install glibc.i686 libstdc++.so.6 pam.i686

Running the installer

# Unpack the database installation into a temporary location.
unzip uvpe_rhlinux_10.3.3.zip

# Extract the uv.load script out of the archive
cpio -ivcBdum uv.load < ./STARTUP

# Set the date on the system to satisfy licensing requirements
date -s 1/1/2009

# Run the uv.load script
./uv.load

Completing the installation

Select the first option from the first menu:

1) Make 'root' the default owner and administrator of uniVerse.  
The current installation continues uninterrupted.  

On the second menu, change the rewind and no-rewind tape names to the location of the installation files.

4) Rewind tape name          /tmp/uvpe  
5) No-rewind tape name        /tmp/uvpe  

Starting the RPC daemon

Before attempting to start the RPC daemon from within the uv environment, an entry for the service itself needs to be added to the /etc/services file

echo "uvrpc 31438/tcp # uvNet rpc port" >> /etc/services
