Recommendation Types
The pre-installation script bases directory location recommendations on
the following criteria:
• To aid disaster recovery, the Database and Journal directories should
be located on different file systems.
• For optimal performance, the Metadata directory should not be
located on the same file system as (in order of priority) the
Journal,
Database, or Mapping directory.
Type Description
RECOMMEND The suggested directory locations will result in
optimal system performance.
NOTE The suggested directory locations are valid but
system performance will not be optimal.
SPACE Additional hard disk space is required to store
the required support directories.
Note: Do not change the location of support directories manually.
Instead, use the installation script to specify the location for
support directories. For more information, see
