Use the onspaces command to get the mirror back up. Examine the "Changing Chunk Status" section of the onspaces command. However, that is not going to help if you have a fundamental problem with the concerned device. . Make sure that it has the correct permissions - owner/group "informix", 660. Ensure that the filesystem that its located in has enough space. BTW, if your device is cooked, what's it doing in the /dev directory? Also, post your "onstat -d" output.
