Summary

In this tutorial, you learned to install and configure IDS, manage space and logs, and configure the different security options available in IDS.

You learned about the different options available during installation and about the new deployment feature that allows you to record the response of your installation in a simple ASCII file, which can then be used for all future silent installs.

This tutorial talks about the steps involved in configuring a simple database server, like preparing space for data storage, making appropriate server entries into the sqlhosts file, setting the environment variables necessary for a client application to connect to the database server, and configuring the system using the configuration file. It also lists the new ONCONFIG parameters in IDS V11.

This tutorial discussed the logical and physical units of storage, adding and dropping dbspaces, sbspaces, and blobspaces using the onspaces command and sql Admin API. It also described how to manage logs using the onparams command as well as the strategies to determine the number and sizes of the logical and physical logs.

Additionally, this tutorial introduced you to the new feature in IDS V11, LBAC security, and other security options available.

Part 2 of the tutorial series introduces you to the monitoring utilities available in IDS V11.
