Lists the disk partition information that you need to complete the corresponding section in the worksheet.
Replication Server uses disk partitions for stable queues, which temporarily store the data it receives and sends.
On Windows, Replication Server uses operating system files for partitions.
The minimum partition size is 20MB. You can add more partitions after the Replication Server is installed.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Disk partition path | (Required) The name of the physical disk device or the full path name of a file to be used for the disk partition. If you use an operating system file, there must be enough space on the file system for Replication Server to extend the file to the size you specify. You must have already created the operating system file. |
| Logical identifier for disk partition | (Required) A logical identifier
for the partition. This name is used in commands and in Replication Server
messages to identify the disk partition. See Replication Server Reference Manual > Topics > Identifiers. |
| Size of disk partition | The size, in megabytes, of the disk partition.
The partition must be at least 20MB. See Replication Server Administration Guide Volume 1 > Replication Server Technical Overview > Transaction Handling with Replication Server > Stable Queues > Partitions for Stable Queues and Replication Server Design Guide > Capacity Planning. |
| Start value for partition | This value prevents Replication Server from
using the beginning of a raw disk partition. It is required if your operating
system stores information, such as configuration maps, at the beginning of
the disk partition. Enter the number of megabytes Replication Server
should ignore. For example, if you enter 1, Replication Server will not use the first megabyte of the raw disk partition. |
