8.2.1 Designing HiRDB file system areas for RDAREAs

This section discusses the design considerations for HiRDB file system areas in which RDAREAs are to be created.

Organization of this subsection
(1) Design for improved reliability
(2) Design for improved performance

(1) Design for improved reliability

None.

(2) Design for improved performance

  1. You should create separate HiRDB file system areas for the following types of RDAREAs:
    • System RDAREAs
    • Data dictionary LOB RDAREAs
    • User RDAREAs
    • User LOB RDAREAs
    • Registry RDAREAs
    • Registry LOB RDAREAs
  2. You should create HiRDB file system areas for system files on hard disks separate from the ones used for HiRDB file system areas for RDAREAs. In this way, you can distribute input/output operations when collecting a synchronization point dump, thereby reducing the amount of time required to collect the synchronization point dump.
