On Linux Power (little endian)
DATE: 08 Mar 2023

OS Information : Built on Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 7.4 (Maipo)
Certified on SUSE SLES 12.3 and 15.
Machine Specific Notes
======================
1. This product was built on Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES 7.4 (Maipo)
for 64-Bit Power Series Architecture little endian with Kernel version
4.10.0 and glibc 2.17 using the following compilers:
gcc/g++ 4.8.5 20150623
2. For shared library support, setting the environment variable
LD_LIBRARY_PATH:
(for C Shell)
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $INFORMIXDIR/lib:$INFORMIXDIR/lib/esql:
$INFORMIXDIR/lib/c++:$INFORMIXDIR/lib/dmi:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
(for Bourne or Korn Shell)
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$INFORMIXDIR/lib:$INFORMIXDIR/lib/esql:
$INFORMIXDIR/lib/c++:$INFORMIXDIR/lib/dmi:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
3. IPv6 Support
HCL Informix Server supports Internet Protocol Version 6 (128 Bit Internet
Addresses) as well as IPv4 (32 Bit Addresses).
In order for the machine name specified in the SQLHOSTS file to resolve to
the correct IP address, the name services files on the operating system
should be correctly configured. If the machine has IPv6 address configured
and the listener thread is bound to an IPv6 address, then the name
resolution files /etc/nsswitch.conf should be configured to fetch IPv6
addresss. Also use the appropriate /etc/hosts setting if local machine
settings are used.
For compatibility with older HCL Informix client and server products,
assign the same hostname with both an IPv4 address and an IPv6 address.
If the listener needs to be bound to an IPv4 address and the name services
resolve the name in the order of the IPv6 address followed by IPv4 address,
then an explicit IPv4 address needs to be put in nodename field of SQLHOSTS
file. Client applications should also use the same setting.
