The HiRDB process registered with the pdsetup command might not be active for some reason.

The OS attempts to activate the process. If this attempt fails the specified number of times, the process will no longer start and it will not be possible to start HiRDB by entering the pdstart command. The following procedure should be executed in such a case:

Procedure

1. Use the OS's ps command to check in the HiRDB directory for the process that is being executed.
2. If the process is not active, enter the pdsetup -d command.
3. Enter the pdsetup command.

If the server machine is shut down due to a power failure during HiRDB operation, the same event might occur immediately after power is restored and the OS is started due to a disk error in the HiRDB directory. In such a case, the same action should be taken.

Procedure

1. A message is displayed when the pdstart command is entered. Eliminate the cause of the error on the basis of this message.
2. Use the pdsetup -d command to delete the HiRDB process from the OS.
3. Enter the pdsetup command.
