Follow the instructions for your operating system to create a disk partition to hold the GT.M database. This is used strictly by GT.M and must not be mounted as a file system.
-
Set permissions of the device file so that users accessing the database have read and write permission.
For example:
# chmod g+rw /dev/dsk/c201d5s0 -
In GDE, specify the segment file name to be the block device associated with the disk partition you wish to use.
Example on an HP:
GDE> change -seg DEFAULT -file= /dev/dsk/ c201d5s0

Be sure to use the block device and not the character device when specifying a raw partition to use with GT.M. |
Create the database using MUPIP CREATE.
Example:
% $gtm_dist/mupip create
Determining size of raw device...
Raw device size is 426572K, 416572 GDS blocks
