Creating an Archive Pool

1. Using SSH, log in as root to your CTERA Portal primary database server.
2. In the command line, enter the following command to create the database archive pool: portal-storage-util.sh create_db_archive_pool device
   Where device is the name of the disk on which the database archive pool is created.
   For example: portal-storage-util.sh create_db_archive_pool sdd
   Note

   This command creates both a logical volume and an LVM volume group using the specified device. Multiple devices can be specified. For example:
   portal-storage-util.sh create_db_archive_pool sdd sde sdf

The logical volume size can be extended at a later time, as described in Extending the Database Archive Pool.

When PostgreSQL streaming replication is required, also create an archive pool on the secondary, replication, server, using the above procedure but logging in to the secondary, replication server. See Using PostgreSQL Streaming Replication for details about PostgreSQL streaming replication.
