You have two choices in order to get out of the 'PD' chunk status. Do a reinit and restore or you can call Informix Tech Support to get them to log into your box and do their proprietary 'magic' and get the chunk out of 'PD' status and then the online should come up if this was just a bad controller and not a bad area on the disk. -- Melvin Mariney, Informix DBA e-mail: melvin.mariney2@bridge.bst.bls.com
