Copy instance + RSS

HI Using IDS 11.50: First of all we have an instance called idsrestore inside a machine P550. Were trying to have other instance with same information now called idsrestorebkp at the same machine P550. At the same time we want to start the RSS replication mode. We used at the original instance: onmode d add RSS idsrestorebkp ontape s L 0 t STDIO F | ontape_RSS_restore.ksh file ontape_RSS_restore.ksh #!/bin/ksh export INFORMIXSERVER=idsrestorebkp export ONCONFIG=onconfig.idsrestorebkpontape p rename f listfile t STDIO > /dev/null 2>&1 everything goes OK, but when I try to finish the process at the secondary instance: onmode d RSS idsrestore appears: The mode change is not allowed since the chunks have been renamed I think I do have the solution, but I want to be sure Im completely right. I have to shutdown the secondary instance, start again using the same commands, but without the rename option.

If you restore idsrestorebkp on the same machine without the rename opt= ion, then you will be restoring the chunks to the same path as idsrestore, w= hich will overwrite the chunks of your primary node. If you want to run a primary and a RSS (works for HDR also) on the same machine, probably th= e easiest thing to do is to use relative paths. For example primary_path =3D <path_to_primary> rss_path =3D <path_to_rss> chunks for primary are located in $primary_path/chunks chunks for rss are located in $rss_path/chunks ROOTPATH for onconfig.idsrestore contains a relative path, for example ROOTPATH ./chunks/root_chunk ROOTPATH for onconfig.idsrestorebkp contains the same relative path ROOTPATH ./chunks/root_chunk TAPEDEV for both onconfig.idsrestore and onconfig.idsrestorebkp are the= same path TAPEDEV /path_to_backup/some_file Start the primary in $primary_path from one window cd $primary_path oninit -iy onmode -d add RSS idsrestorebkp ontape -s -L 0 Start the rss in $rss_path from another window cd $rss_path ontape -p onmode -d RSS idsrestore If you add dbspaces/chunks, make sure you are in $primary_path and use relative path for the -p option, for example cd $primary_path onspaces -c -d tmpdbs -t -p ./chunks/tmpdbs -o 0 -s 10000it will get replicated to $rss_path/chunks/tmpdbs thanks. davis. > > Tks for your help > > henrique_lima_2000@yahoo.com.br > > Novos endere=E7os, o Yahoo! que voc=EA conhece.
