3. Guide for Building a Hands-on Environment

This chapter explains how to build a hands-on environment that will allow users to gain first-hand experience in installing and operating HADB.

To fully understand the concepts involved in building an HADB server, we recommend that you build an environment on an actual machine while you read this chapter. This exercise will take between 1 and 2 hours.

Note that the procedures explained in this chapter and the specification values that are used are specifically for the purpose of configuring a hands-on environment. They are not appropriate for building an environment that will be used in actual operations. When you configure an environment that will be used for actual operations, first estimate the required values based on the explanation in Part 3. Design of this manual, and then configure your environment based on the explanation in Part 4. Setup of this manual.
