Wigoda hwigoda@seg7.mnc.mot.com It looks like you have 50K of rootdbs and 50K of logical logs. Online needs more room in the rootdbs so it can create the physical log and "Specific control and tracking information needed for OnLine operation". See the "OnLine Administrator's Guide" (Version 5.0) section on Root Dbspace Configuration Guidelines in Chapter 1. Your other machine may have had it's logical logs moved out of the rootdbs AFTER Online was initialized with smaller/fewer logical logs. See page 3-27 on how to move your logical logs to another dbspace. -- Roger J.
