What kind of machine...MPP or Cluster?

It's much more complex than a simple script, but here's the general gist for clusters:
1. Unless there's something new with IBM filesystems, you'll need to setup raw devices for your database files.

2. Each instance will need access to the executables on filesystem.
3. You'll need the IBM dlm piece in place.
4. Follow the manual's guidelines for design, layout, work load

partitioning, etc. Lots of good info there. 5. Pay carefull attention to init parameters.
