Installing MySQL on i5/OS
101
If you install MySQL using a binary tarball distribution on Solaris, you may run into trouble even before
you get the MySQL distribution unpacked, as the Solaris
tar
cannot handle long file names. This
means that you may see errors when you try to unpack MySQL.
If this occurs, you must use GNU
tar
(
gtar
) to unpack the distribution.
You can install MySQL on Solaris using a binary package in PKG format instead of the binary tarball
distribution. Before installing using the binary PKG format, you should create the
mysql
user and
group, for example:
groupadd mysql
useradd -g mysql mysql
Some basic PKG-handling commands follow:
• To add a package:
pkgadd -d package_name .pkg
• To remove a package:
pkgrm package_name
• To get a full list of installed packages:
pkginfo
• To get detailed information for a package:
pkginfo -l package_name
• To list the files belonging to a package:
pkgchk -v package_name
• To get packaging information for an arbitrary file:
pkgchk -l -p file_name
For additional information about installing MySQL on Solaris, see Section 2.20.3, “Solaris Notes” .
2.14. Installing MySQL on i5/OS
The i5/OS POWER MySQL package was created in cooperation with IBM. MySQL works within the
Portable Application Solution Environment (PASE) on the System i series of hardware and will also
provide database services for the Zend Core for i5/OS.
MySQL for i5/OS is provided both as a
tar
file and as a save file (
.savf
) package that can be
downloaded and installed directly without any additional installation steps required. To install MySQL
using the
tar
file, see Section 2.16, “Installing MySQL from Generic Binaries on Other Unix-Like
Systems” .
MySQL is only supported on i5/OS V5R4 or later releases. The i5/OS PASE must be installed for
MySQL to operate. You must be able to login as a user in
*SECOFR
class.
You should the installation notes and tips for i5/OS before starting installation. See i5/OS Installation
Notes [105] .
Before Installation:
Note
The installation package will use an existing configuration if you have previously
installed MySQL (which is identified by looking for the file
/etc/my.cnf
). The
