Enter location for databases [/home/db7sign]: <enter>
The database location defaults to the /home file system just like the database logs that are
configured below.
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.
Next, the installer confirms creation of databases:
Do you want to create databases now [Y/n]? <enter>
The installer continues and the database creation takes several minutes:
7SIGNAL creating management database...
7SIGNAL creating measurement database...
7SIGNAL creating security database...
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.
Enter location for Management DB log files
[/home/db7sign/db7sign/NODE0000/SQL00001/SQLOGDIR/]: <enter>
OK. Using default.
Enter location for Measurement DB log files
[/home/db7sign/db7sign/NODE0000/SQL00002/SQLOGDIR/]: <enter>
OK. Using default.
Enter location for Security DB log files
[/home/db7sign/db7sign/NODE0000/SQL00003/SQLOGDIR/]: <enter>
OK. Using default.
The installer is now finished. The DB2 is now installed, up and running.
