This section applies only to users of multiplex capability. The Main IQ Store of a multiplex database should occupy raw disks on a shared disk subsystem, typically a fiber channel disk array. Make sure that raw disks are available with enough space to store all persistent data in the IQ database.
Be sure to configure your shared disk subsystem so that
all systems where multiplex servers will reside can access the same
physical disks as local drives. This access must not use remote
drive mapping.
On UNIX systems, system administrators should use the chmod command to give each user who runs the IQ server read/write access to the raw devices.
If your configuration includes Windows systems, see the Sybase IQ Installation and Configuration Guide for Windows for raw device setup instructions for those systems.
