Not enough room in ROOT DBspace
Reduce the size of your PHYSFILE. You probably moved it to another dbspace after setting up the first server. Start it smaller, then create the plog dbspace and move it there and resize. j. On 1/4/17 4:09 PM, STEVEN AB wrote: > Hi, > > I'm trying to setup a new server with the …

Informix HA Cluster and CM
OK, here's how it goes. You have two servers, a primary and an HDR secondary, call them node1 on host1 and node2 on host2 and you have a single Connection Manager, call it CM1 on host3. The servers each have a TCP and shared memory connection type defined, call them node1_tcp and…
Want to DROP an empty rootdbs chunk
David: No worries. Except for the catalog tables and a handful of others, nearly all of the "tables" in sysmaster are not actually tables at all, but windows in to memory structures which cache on-disk structures. Those, like the chunk table, dbspace table, etc. are what are upda…

Memory issue on Informix primary server
Amit: Casey's right, it looks like most of the memory allocated is unused. I had missed that. Here's what I think happened. As I said Solaris is VERY SLOW to allocate shared memory, so when a session needed more memory the engine requested another 3GB segment. It took so long tha…
Shared Memory
Yes, I would increase SHMVIRTSIZE as long as you are confident that the additional 4GB of memory that were added are "normal" and would be allocated again anyway if you didn't increase it. If the additional memory was an anomaly due to some unusual activity, then maybe increase i…
