24.3.1 Notes on HiRDB environment setup

To use the Directory Server Linkage Facility, the POSIX version must be used. To use the POSIX library version, specify the -l option in the pdsetup command that is executed during environment setup for HiRDB. When HiRDB is first installed, the -l option should be specified in the pdsetup command.

If HiRDB is already running but the POSIX library version is not being used, use the following procedure to change HiRDB to the POSIX library version:

Procedure
  1. Use pdstop command to terminate HiRDB normally.
  2. Use the pdsetup -d command to delete HiRDB from the OS; choose y in response to the message. In the case of a HiRDB/Parallel Server, execute the pdsetup -d command at all server machines.
  3. Execute pdsetup command with POSIX specified in the -l option. In the case of a HiRDB/Parallel Server, execute the pdsetup -l command at all server machines.
  4. Use the pdstart command to start HiRDB normally.

HiRDB Version 5.0 and older versions do not support the POSIX library version. Therefore, when HiRDB is upgraded from Version 5.0 or older, use this procedure to change HiRDB to the POSIX library version.

If the -l option was not specified in the pdsetup command when a new HiRDB was installed, use this procedure to change HiRDB to the POSIX library version.
