Usage

usage: dbvolcreate [options] volume_file_name
options:
 -v        - verbose
 -d flags  - debug flags
 -c cfg    - configuration file name
 -s sz     - Initial size
 -e sz     - Extension size
 -m sz     - Max volume size

-help

The -help option displays a brief help text.

-v

The -v option causes dbvolcreate to output more detailed processing messages.

-d flags

The -d option specifies debug flags and is normally not used.

-c cfg

The -c option specifies the eloqdb server configuration file name. If not specified, the default configuration file name depends on OS platform and Eloquence version.

-s size

The -s option specifies the initial size (in MB) of the volume to be created. The default size is 2.5 MB (which is also the minimum size).

-e size

The -e option specifies the extension size (in MB). When the volume is getting full, it will be extended in steps of size MB. If size is 0, the volume will not be extended automatically by the server. The default extension size is 1 MB.

-m size

The -m option specifies the maximum volume size (in MB). Automatic volume extensions will not grow the volume beyond size MB. If not specified (or specified as zero), the maximum volume size is determined by the "VolumeFileSizeLimit" setting in the eloqdb server configuration file.

Notes

• dbvolcreate needs write access to the eloqdb config file to update the [Volumes] section.

• Additional (data or log) volume files may be created with the dbvolextend utility. Volume parameters "extension size" and "maximum size" may be changed with the dbvolchange utility.

Examples

dbvolcreate -v -c eloqdb.cfg -e 100 /data/db-01.vol
