Re: Informix 12.10 snapshot [34292]

Georgi, yes that is possible. I did it for a couple of customers with older informix versions and EMC disk arrays over 10 years ago. You might need to have some considerations depending on your chunks names and other things but it is doable. I am not sure what you meant with your second question "can I bring other servers........", can you please elaborate a bit more? If you have any other questions please let me know.

Hi I mean to -start- this new instances. so my idea is using links to do this : on primary server have: $INFORMIXDIR/links/chiunk1->/data/ifx1/chunk1 on second instance have: $INFORMIXDIR/links/chiunk1->/data/ifx2/chunk1 on other host to have same like primay: $INFORMIXDIR/links/chiunk1->/data/ifx1/chunk1 and during the night to replace second two with copies from snapshot from primary server. I know that it is not needed to make copies of this snapshot and to just use 1 snapshot in read write for all instances and to have just delatas but this is not exactly backup solution, so I prefer to have copies. We using 3PAR for storage.

I think you love Informix even more than me... -- Regards Spokey > On 4 Dec 2014, at 19:33, Luis Panozzo <lupasa@sisa.com.bo> wrote: > > My Sun. > My Heaven. > My Star. > My All. > My Love. > > This time I feel I can see the light of your heart. > > I felt you sentimental. > I felt you serious. > I felt you romantic. > I felt you weak. > I felt you happy and tender. > > I'm very happy, 'cause your email show me that you was happy when wrote it.. > > This is first time I'm feeling your heart beating with mine heart at the same > rhythm. > > I like to write for you.
