The installation settings for the 64 bit version of ICE assumes that you have 8GB or more of memory. In order to install with less memory, you must first reduce the memory settings in the brighthouse.ini file.

Note: It is not recommended that you run in production with less memory, as you may reduced response time for queries with large result sets.

Installation Instructions with Less Memory

Follow the first four steps in the standard Install Guide:

1. Download the package infobright-3.1-x86_64.tar.gz to the server where you are installing Infobright

2. Obtain root user access

3. Change to the parent location in which you want to install (e.g. /usr/local)

cd /usr/local

4. Unpack the tarball, which will create the product directory (infobright-3.1-x86_64/), and create a symbolic link ‘infobright’ to the product folder

gunzip < /path/to/infobright-3.1-x86_64.tar.gz | tar xvf -
ln -s /usr/local/infobright-3.1-x86_64 infobright
cd /usr/local/infobright

Edit the brighthouse.ini configuration file in the support-files directory (/infobright-3.1-x86_64/support-files/brighthouse.ini). The settings for ServerMainHeapSize, ServerCompressedHeapSize, and LoaderMainHeapSize are set for the 8GB values of 4000, 500, and 800 respectively. Change them to match the memory of your system.

The following table lists the parameters and some recommended values based on the amount of system memory (values are expressed in megabytes).

Alternately, you can comment out or delete the three memory parameters in the brighthouse.ini file, and the system will use the application minimum allowed values of 600, 256, and 320 for ServerMainHeapSize, ServerCompressedHeapSize, and LoaderMainHeapSize.
