To create user LOB RDAREAs, use the following general procedures:
- Create a user LOB RDAREA in the HiRDB file system area for RDAREAs, which you created in 5.3 Creating HiRDB file system areas.
- For a HiRDB/Parallel Server, create a user LOB RDAREA in a HiRDB file system area for the server machine on which the back-end server is defined.
- For details about how to design the user LOB RDAREA, see 9.4 Placing RDAREAs for a HiRDB/Single Server, and 10.4 Placing RDAREAs for a HiRDB/Parallel Server.
- For a HiRDB/Parallel Server, execute the database structure modification utility (pdmod) on the server machine where the system manager is defined.
- Before creating a user LOB RDAREA, use the pdls command to make sure that HiRDB is running. For a HiRDB/Parallel Server, enter the pdls command from the server machine where the system manager is defined.
- If HiRDB is not running, use the pdstart command to start it. To start a HiRDB/Parallel Server, enter the pdstart command from the server machine where the system manager is defined.
