Hi, I am trying to set up ISM on Informix 9.3 and I believe the pool names ISMData and ISMLogs are not being created when I run ism_startup -init. Could anyone tell me how to fix this problem? The steps I followed to setup ISM are as follows: Initialise ISM: ism_startup -init Add a file backup device: ism_add -device /usr/informix/restore/ISM_ARC -type file Label that device: ism_op -label /usr/informix/restore/ISM_ARC -volume 1 -pool ISMData At which point I get the following error: nsrmm: Invalid pool name `ISMData'. If I look at the list of labels in Informix's GUI Storage Manager I see the following: Default Default Clone Full NonFull Offsite Neither "ISMData" or "ISMLogs" appear in that list As you would expect, the onconfig Informix Storage Manager variables are: ISM_DATA_POOL ISMData ISM_LOG_POOL ISMLogs Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Regards Brett Sheeran
