This section describes tasks you must do before you create a HiRDB file system area, procedures for creating a HiRDB file system area, and Hitachi's approach to access permissions for HiRDB file system areas.
Do the following:
See the OS documentation for instructions on performing these tasks.
Execute the pdfmkfs command to create a HiRDB file system area in the NTFS area. Alternatively, if you are using direct disk access (raw I/O), create a HiRDB file system area in a disk partition (logical drive).
The access permissions of the OS are enabled in the HiRDB file system area, but OS access permissions are disabled for HiRDB files. Also, HiRDB does not control access permissions for HiRDB files. Accordingly, to limit access to individual HiRDB files, divide the HiRDB file system area and change the permissions for each HiRDB file system area.
