You can install multiple, separately operating HiRDB systems on one server machine. Such a system configuration is called a multi-HiRDB configuration. A multi-HiRDB configuration would be appropriate under the following circumstances:

• Running an operational system and a test system on the same server machine
• Running systems for different applications on the same server machine

In a multi-HiRDB configuration, you can freely combine HiRDB single server configurations and HiRDB parallel server configurations.

The following figure shows a multi-HiRDB configuration using HiRDB single server configurations.

Figure 1-7 Multi-HiRDB configuration using HiRDB single server configurations

Explanation

This is a multi-HiRDB configuration implemented on a HiRDB single server configuration.

HiRDB single server configuration 1 is designated as the operational system, and HiRDB single server configuration 2 serves as a test system.
