When initialising the engine there must be room in space for all logs, physdbs, buffers, locks etc. Try reducing logs and physdbs as a starter.

Check the number and size of your logical logs, and the size of your physical log: you are trying to allocate more stuff in the root dbspace than you have space available. -- Ciao, Marco ______________________________________________________________________________ Marco Greco /UK /IBM Standard disclaimers apply!

HI, It looks like you have too many logs requested (look at the LOGFILES parameter). You should lower this parameter or lower the value for the LOGSIZE parameter just to start your engine. After runnning oninit -iy successfully, you could add more logs later and prefferably in a separate dbspace dedicated for logs. My advice is to start with a very small number of logs since you will transfer them to another dbspace later. It saves you the time to drop them from the rootdbs and have to add them to another dbspace anyway. It could also be a large physical log (PHYSFILE) that is causing the problem. In this case, lower this value just to start the engine and increase it afterwards when you transfer this physical log to another dbspace.
