The most likely problem is that you only installed the software. You did not configure an ODS environment - Specifying the name of a raw disk your Unix admin has prepared for the database. Creating a link to the junk name supplied in the onconfig.std is not a sign of a good start. Last I heard, Informix had a support office in Milan. I don't know how far that is from your site but I suggest you call them. There is a good reason why Informix has a 4-day training class for setting up OnLine. > Since we follow the instruction in Unix installation guide and in the > Administrator Guide we cannot understand what appens. > In fact the path for the root dbspace is given, in the ONCONFIG file, > ad a symbolic link, on a raw disk. > Maybe the problem cames from Veritas, the module that manages disks and > mirroring. > I had to create a chunk for the root dbspace or oninit does it for me? > thanks in advance for your help > > Alberto Murgia > > S.T.
