Operating HiRDB requires HiRDB file system areas 1, 3 and 4.

For details about how to design a HiRDB file system area, see 8.2 Designing HiRDB file system areas for a HiRDB/Single Server, and 9.2 Designing HiRDB file system areas for a HiRDB/Parallel Server.

Note
The size of a HiRDB file system area that is to be initialized must not exceed the partition size. If it exceeds the partition size, the next partition physically following that partition may be damaged.
