If the HiRDB installation directory is not available because the HiRDB directory itself was used as the installation directory, HiRDB must be reinstalled. The recovery procedure explained here assumes the following:
- The files under $PDDIR/conf have been backed up.
- If users have created files under $PDDIR, those files have been backed up.
- The database and system files are safe.
- In the case of a multi-HiRDB, all the HiRDB versions are identical.
- Procedure
- Reboot the server machine to clean up the remaining HiRDB processes.
- Execute the pdsetup -d command to delete the HiRDB directory information registered in the OS. Respond with Y when prompted. Although the pdsetup -d command will terminate in an error, ignore this error.
- Reinstall HiRDB. For details on how to install HiRDB, see the manual HiRDB Version 8 Installation and Design Guide.
- Execute the pdsetup command.
- Recover the files under $PDDIR/conf from the backup.
- If users created files under $PDDIR, recover those files.
- Use the pdstart command to start HiRDB.
