Creating a NavisCore Data Device on Partition 5
To create a NavisCore data device for Sybase on Partition 5:
1.
At the
partition
prompt, enter
5
.
2.
At the
Enter partition id tag
prompt, enter
unassigned
.
3.
At the
Enter partition permission flags
prompt, enter
wm
.
4.
At the
Enter new starting cyl[xxxx]:
prompt, enter:
<
a number equal to the value of the ending cylinder from
partition 4 plus 1
>
Using
Figure 3-3 on page 3-12
as an example, this value would be
816
.
5.
At the
Enter partition size
prompt, do the following:
a.
To allocate the remaining disk space for the NavisCore Data and Log devices,
use the following equation to calculate the partition size for each device:
(<
Total available cylinders on drive
> - <
Total cylinders
used for partitions 0, 3 and 4
>)/2 = <
NavisCore Data/Log
device size
>
For example, using the values shown in
Figure 3-3 on page 3-12
:
(4924 (available cylinders on drive) - 815 (total used
cylinders)) / 2 = 2054 (NavisCore data device size).
b.
In this example, you would enter
2054c
at the
Enter partition size
prompt.
