Executor: HiRDB administrator

The HiRDB administrator must prepare for creation of a HiRDB file system area that will be used to store HiRDB-specific files.

For simple installation, the procedure that is explained is for creating a HiRDB file system area as a regular file area.

If reliability is important during detailed design, the HiRDB administrator should allocate the file system area as a character special file area.

To create a HiRDB file system area:

1. Initialize the hard disk on which the HiRDB file system area is to be created (if it has not been initialized already).
2. Set partitions.
3. Initialize the partitions as a UNIX file system.

For details about how to initialize the hard disk and setting partitions, see the applicable OS documentation.
