More memory to dbdatas

Hello, Im installing more HDs for informix uses... i know how to create the metadevice, the chunks, to link the dbdata to the chunks... but my doubt is how to format the HD as a raw device to be used by the informix! Im using Solaris 5.8, and im connecting the HD on a HBA in my server.. any help is welcome! and sorry the poor english! thanks

Just create the RAW or character device, create a link to it in a convenient place, and run onspaces to add the chunk to the dbspace that needs it or to create a new dbspace. Onspaces will create whatever structure IDS needs for you. Art S.

Do you use any file system tool such as Veritas? first of all, send us the onstat -d output, and then we can start helping you a little. Just for curiosity, This is a Metrica Software instalation? Because of your old questions, the sql sentences looks like it's using a Metrica datablade. regards, Guto.
