Add a DB file to a dbspace.
Follow these steps to add files to all shared dbspaces: IQ_SYSTEM_MAIN, IQ_SHARED_TEMP, and all user-defined dbspaces.
Option | Description |
---|---|
Logical name |
User-defined name of the DB file. |
Path to physical file on disk |
Path to the physical file on disk. It is usually best to use an absolute path. A relative path works for simplex servers and for multiplexes that use the SCC shared-disk facility and have the SCC installation directory mounted in the same location on each multiplex server host. If you specify a relative path for a simplex that is later converted to a multiplex, the relative path might cause an error. |
Raw device |
A check mark indicates the file is on a raw device. |
File size |
Space you allocate to the DB file in kilobytes (KB), megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB), or terabytes (TB). Unavailable on raw devices; required if the file is not on a raw device. Minimum file size is 8 MB. |
Reserve size |
(Optional; default is 0.) Extra space you allocate to the DB file in kilobytes (KB), megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB), or terabytes (TB). You can use this space to increase the file size if the file grows. Guideline: reserve size should be about 30% of file size. |
Mode |
(Optional)
Note: This option appears only if you are adding DB files to the IQ_SHARED_TEMP dbspace in a multiplex setup.
