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

1. Restart the server machine to clear out all remaining server processes.
2. 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.
3. Reinstall HiRDB. For details on how to install HiRDB, see the HiRDB Version 9 Installation and Design Guide.
4. Execute the pdsetup command.
5. Recover the files under $PDDIR/conf from the backup.
6. If users created files under $PDDIR, recover those files.
7. Use the pdstart command to start HiRDB.
