Re: database migration

On your new machine, make sure you have defined your devices, ie, /dev/informix/rdisk01. If you have /dev/rdsk/c0t0d1, you're in trouble unless the same device names are used -- use symbolic links. Remember to bring over your sqlhost and onconfig file to the new machine. Good luck.
