You can also add chunks to the existing dbspaces from your new disk.

Subject: RAW devices relocatable?
my raw devices for informix db are almost full.
it means there are 4 2gbytes sized logical volumens
(partitions on disks on hp-ux)
on 2 4gbytes disks (in summary 8 gbytes) which have to be
**moved** to a new and much bigger disk able to contain a lot of
additional raw devs too.
possible solution 1:
can i dd the raw devs from old to new disk?
(and then change the soft links to the new ones)
possible solution 2:
can i save informix db with ontape -s to tape,
and then reload with ontape -r onto the new raw devs,
(after made the soft links to the new ones) and start informix again?
who can help me?
tnx from bernd salzmann.
