Replacement of database primary drive
Dear All,
It's a long time since I've posted here as I haven't worked with Informix for
a while. However, I'm 'last man standing' and there's a problem at a customer
site.
The system has been installed and working for many years, but now the primary
drive of their mirrored pair is beginning to show soft errors and could do
with replacing. Regrettably, I've forgotten how to and I don't have the luxury
of a development system to practice on. Nightmare scenario...
This is how the server is configured on Solaris 2.6:

You can do this with the engine online. Use "onspaces -s" to mark the
primary chunks on the failing drive offline, replace the drive and
partition appropriately, link the primary chunk paths to the new drive's
partitions, use "onspaces -s" to mark the replaced chunks online. Informix
will reconstruct the data.
You can do it with the engine offline, just replace the onspaces commands
with taking the engine offline and back online and copy the data manually
from the mirror chunks to the new primary chunks using dd.
