So the sum of the two cannot exceed 2Gb. Just use the OS >partitioning to create 2Gb devices and use those as chunks in IDS. The problem of course, is that you can't create more than 7 partitions per drive. I have a 42GB volume (hardware RAID array) and I need 20GB for my database. Of course, if anyone know how to create more than 7 partitions per drive under Solaris 2.5.1, I'd be *EXTREMELY* greatful! >I can also recommend the "Informix Dynamic Server System Administration" >training course. That's for Raj, not you Billy. :-) I'd love to do that. ========= << raj >> == http://www.brainlink.com/~frostbit/ ============== SYSADMIN: BrainLINK System (718) 805-6559 // http://www.brainlink.com You want to be president?
