Executor: HiRDB administrator

Use the pdfmkfs command to create the HiRDB file system area to be used by HiRDB for creation of the audit trail files. The following should be considered when you create the HiRDB file system area for audit trail files:

• Specify the HiRDB file system area name specified in the pd_aud_file_name operand.
• Create the HiRDB file system area for the audit trail files as a character special file. Do not create it as a normal file.
• For a HiRDB parallel server configuration, create a HiRDB file system area for audit trail files in each unit.
• For the -k option (usage), specify SYS or SVR. The recommended value is SYS.
• The target for specifying the -n option (HiRDB file system area length) is as follows:
  Recommended value: Value of pd_aud_max_generation_size 200 + 20 (megabytes)
  Minimum value: Value of pd_aud_max_generation_size value of pd_aud_max_generation_num + 20 (megabytes)
  
  • When you place other system files in the HiRDB file system area for audit trail files, add the size required for audit trails files to the size required by the system files you are placing, and specify the total for the -n option. If you allocate only the size required for audit trail files in the HiRDB file system area, an audit trail file capacity shortage might occur while HiRDB is running.
• The target for specifying the -l option (maximum number of file generations in the HiRDB file system area) is as follows:
  Recommended value: 200 (maximum value of pd_aud_max_generation_num)
  Minimum value: Value of pd_aud_max_generation_num
