Note –
Although Lucent recommends that you allocate 1 GB to partition 3 (
step 5
),
this number depends on your disk space availability. A partition size of 200MB is the
minimum value for the Tempdb Device.
Note –
The default system name for this device is sysprocsdev. However, it is
frequently referred to as the sybsystemprocs device since it stores the sybsystemprocs
database.
