The adbmodarea command enables you to add one data DB area to the DB directory.

The following figure provides an overview of adding a data DB area.

Figure 34‒1: Adding data DB areas

The following explains the file used to add a data DB area:

• DB area addition and modification option file

  This file is used to specify the options that configure an execution environment for the adbmodarea command. Specify information about the data DB area that is to be added.

You can allocate block special files as the DB area files for the DB area to be added. In this case, symbolic links to the block special files are created under the DB directory.

Important

A block special file that has already been allocated to an existing DB area file cannot be allocated as a new DB area file.

For details about the specification of the DB area addition and modification options that are specified to allocate block special files, see the adbaddarea operand in (b) Command format in (2) Explanation of specification format in 34.2.2 Format of DB area addition and modification options.
