To be sure, I would take a snapshot of the system before the install, then
another after the install and do a diff on the to snaps. That should tell
you the story.
Like so.
cd /;find . -print > /tmp/file_list_b4_uv_install
Install Universe
cd /;find . -print > /tmp/file_list_after_uv_install
diff /tmp/file_list_b4_uv_install /tmp/file_list_after_uv_install

Subject: [U2] UV install - internal vs. external
As part of our DR configuration, our database is loaded on an external RAID
array. We have the ability, should one server crash, to present the disks
to other servers and be back up and running.
The question has arisen as to
whether we should do the same with UV itself.
Currently, it is loaded on an
internal drive, and therefore has to be loaded
on any failover machine. If
we load it on an external drive, we would be
able to present that disk to a
failover machine along with the database.
This would also allow us to only
have to do UV maintenance updates, mods,
etc.) in one place and not have to
worry about keeping multiple servers in
synch.
The down side is that it
appears that when UV installs, it doesn't put
EVERYTHING into /usr/ibm/uv (or
whatever directory you choose for the
install). For example, the uv.rc
script gets installed into /etc, and the
/etc/inittab file is modified to
call it. Our concern is that there are
other pieces strewn throughout unix
that would be missing if we didn't
actually do the install on every server.
Does anyone know if there are other pieces of UV that don't go into the
install directory - or if this is the only one?
Thanks!
