RE: pls help, mirror chunk down

You should not have manually added the MIRRORPATH path-name to your $ONCONFIG file. That method will not populate the contents of the mirror path. Instead, you should use "onspaces -m ..." to initiate mirroring for a dbspace. You could try to using "onspaces -r rootdbs" to end mirroring for rootdbs before starting it again. If that fails, you could try resetting MIRRORPATH to its original null value. These "onspaces" commands are described in more detail in the "Administrator Guide". Menu driven methods for accomplishing the same tasks are available in the Informix Server Administrator (ISA) and onmonitor utilities.
