Partitioning the Disk(s) to be Used for Sybase Using Raw Partitions
Figure 3-3 on page 3-12
shows partition 2 defined as “backup” and uses the entire
disk because “Total Disk Cylinders Available” is 4924 and the Cylinders column
shows the value “0-4923,” which is 4924 cylinders. Proceed as follows:
•
If partition 2 is defined similar to
Figure 3-3 on page 3-12
, and uses the entire
disk, proceed to
“Creating a Master Device on Partition 0” on page 3-7
.
•
If partition 2 does not use the entire disk, proceed to
“Defining Partition 2” on
page 3-6
.
