Trial partitioning requirements, additional NSP components
Trial auxiliary database partitioning scheme
The following table lists the partitions required for the trial deployment of an auxiliary database.
For a multi-station auxiliary database, or a single-station database that has a high data rate, the /opt/nsp/nfmp/auxdb/backup partition has the following special requirements:
-
It is strongly recommended that the partition is a remote mount point or directly attached storage connected by a minimum 10 GByte/s link.
-
Each auxiliary database station requires a separate backup volume that is mounted as /opt/nsp/nfmp/auxdb/backup on the auxiliary database station.
For example, if the specified auxiliary database backup location is /opt/nsp/nfmp/auxdb/backup, the auxiliary database stations require the following mount points: -
The supported file systems for the backup location are ext3, ext4, and NFS.
Note: The /opt/nsp/nfmp/auxdb/backup partition can be a local mount point in a single-station database that has a low to moderate data rate.
