2.1.4 Creating the installation directory

Executor: Superuser

To protect the root partition from excessive workload, the superuser must create an installation directory before installing HiRDB. An installation directory should be created in a dedicated disk partition to avoid an excessive workload on the file system.

HiRDB is installed under this installation directory.

For details about disk partitions, see the applicable OS documentation.

To install a new HiRDB, create the installation directory on each server machine. The following table lists the HiRDB installation directories.
