The Optical Subsystem is installed automatically when you install your database server. For instructions on how to install the database server, see your IBM Informix: Installation Guide.
If you are installing your database server for the first time, follow the instructions on how to configure and initialize the database server in your IBM Informix: Administrator's Guide.
Edit your ONCONFIG file to set the OPTICAL_LIB_PATH to the shared optical library file used. For example, if you use Plexus optical server manager installed on the d drive of a Windows computer, you would set the following value in the ONCONFIG file:
OPTICAL_LIB_PATH d:\OSM\XDPSM\lib\libop.dll
Continue with Creating the Staging Area before you access the optical-storage subsystem.
