The following rules apply to allocating system files to the entity section of a Datareplicator file system area:

• The number of allocated system files cannot exceed the number of files specified in the -l option of the hdsfmkfs command.
• The total size of all files allocated to a single Datareplicator file system area must be within the following range:
  

  

• A single system file cannot be divided and allocated to multiple Datareplicator file system areas.
• Datareplicator files under different directories cannot be allocated to the same Datareplicator file system area.
• Multiple system files in one Datareplicator used for one machine must be allocated to the same Datareplicator file system area. Figures 3-34 and 3-35 show examples of allocation.

• If multiple data linkage identifiers (dsid) are defined at the target Datareplicator, you need to allocate a Datareplicator file system area for each data linkage identifier to execute partial initial startup. If the same Datareplicator file system area is shared among multiple data linkage identifiers, partial initial startup will result in an error.
