Deployment Guide

Enter location for databases [/home/db7sign]: (See NOTE below)
The database location defaults to the /home file system just like the database logs that are configured
below.
NOTE! This default database location is not recommended, if the /home file system is not backed
up or otherwise replicated, or does not have enough disk space. The logs and the actual
database should always reside in separate file systems, preferably on RAIDed, separate
physical devices.
Database must be always on local disk, for example, not on NFS mount!
Creating and configuring databases takes several minutes. After completed, it is possible to change DB2
transaction logging method from circular logging to archival logging:
Do you want to change the default database logging method (circular logging) to
infinite archival logging [y/N]? <enter>
It is encouraged to make the install with circular logging. The infinite archival logging requires design and
practically endless storage device. The instructions for moving to infinite archival logging are in the Carat
User Manual among other detailed backup process design issues.
The next step is to specify location for database log files. Log file location defaults to the /home file system
just like the actual database.
