choosing extent and tranlog locations

Hi -

With GsDevKit_home how does a person create a stone with extents, tranlogs, and the product all on different partitions?  

It seems like the settings in stone.env are ignored in the createStone process.  

Does the upgradeStone commands respect the user defined GEMSTONE_DATADIR and GEMSTONE_TRANLOGDIR environment variables?

I'm happy to use another approach that works too.

Thanks

Paul

Hi Paul,

I use GsDevKit for dev and mirror the same setup in production. In production, I simply create symbolic links from the $GS_HOME/server/stones/myStone/ subdirectories to the appropriate locations. Extents, snapshots, transaction logs, backups and logs all end up on the appropriate devices.

Plus, you can simply see where everything is with a ‘ls -a’ :)

Cheers,

Jupiter

Hi Jupiter,

Thanks


So you create everything in the default locations then stop the
stone/netldi, move the extent0.dbf and the first tranlog to where you want
them, then link the new locations to the
GsDevKit_home/server/stone/myStone/extent and tranlog directories?

That’s exactly it. If you’ve already setup systemd (or equiv) to manage launching - don’t forget to disable that too :) I’ve made that mistake and had the stone launch while I was copying things around.

There’s no messing around with environment variables, and all the default GsDevKit commands work as is.

Cheers,
