Re: DBSPACE size
Aurelio asked how to enlarge the 30 MB rootdbspace; changing the size in the onconfig file had no effect, though the event file reported a change, and he wondered if oninit -i was needed. Art S. Kagel said to add a chunk to rootdbs with onmonitor or onspaces, e.g. onspaces -a rootdbs -p <path> -o 0 -s 50000. The rest was banter.

Yes, I know I can, but HOW? (Sorry if I didn't explain myself)
By default the onconfig.SERVER_NAME file the rootdbspace is 30 Mb. I
change it, but changes don't take place. In event file I can see
"roobdspace changed from .. to ..." while re-starting, but I dont't think
it has changed. Maybe I must to init with oninit -i option?

AHAH! Different question. You asked "is it possible to CREATE...",
what you needed to ask is: "How can I expand my ROOTDBS?" The answer
to that is "Just add a chunk to the rootdbs dbspace either using
onmonitor (if you have it) or using onspaces:
onspaces -a rootdbs -p /usr/opt/informix/disks/disk_14 -o 0 -s 50000
or some such as appropriate and other weasel language.

Hey Art!
I haven't really noticed, but then . . . . is it the stress or the
medication? <G>
