Re: raw device for solaris(sparc)
G'day
On our Solaris machines, we must use an offset of approximately 50 K -
Solaris stores the Volume Table of Contents ( VTOC ) in the first blocks
on the partition and when Informix initialises with no offset, it wipes
this information rendering the disk 'corrupt'
Put a value in the chunk OFFSET field in onmonitor or use the -o option
in onspaces.
