To create user RDAREAs, use the following general procedures:
- Create a user RDAREA in the HiRDB file system area for RDAREAs that you created in 4.3 Creating HiRDB file system areas.
- For a HiRDB/Parallel Server, create a user RDAREA in a HiRDB file system area for the server machine on which the back-end server is defined.
- For details about how to design the user RDAREA, see 8.4 Placing RDAREAs for a HiRDB/Single Server, and 9.4 Placing RDAREAs for a HiRDB/Parallel Server.
- For a HiRDB/Parallel Server, execute the database structure modification utility (pdmod) on the server machine where the system manager is defined.
- Before creating a user RDAREA, use the pdls command to make sure that HiRDB is running. For a HiRDB/Parallel Server, enter the pdls command from the server machine where the system manager is defined.
- If HiRDB is not running, use the pdstart command to start it. To start a HiRDB/Parallel Server, enter the pdstart command from the server machine where the system manager is defined.
