onspaces
User received "onspaces: command not found" error when trying to create dbspaces. The issue was resolved: the INFORMIXDIR/bin directory wasn't in the PATH environment variable. Additionally, user learned that onspaces can only be used after the database instance is initialized with oninit -i; it cannot allocate the rootdb dbspace, which only initialization can do.

I have a couple of questions where I am a bit confused on. I want to create
space on my training server for rootdbs, logdbs, tmdbs, and datadbs.
I tried this command and got the error: onspaces: command not found
This is the command that I took from Lester Knutson's video.
onspaces -c -d tmpdbs -t -p $INFORMIXCHUNKS/tmpdbs -o 0 -s 2000000
1. Does this command make a chunk or is it creating a dbspace where I need to
put the chunk inside of this?
2. Does this error mean I cannot use onspaces for some reason?
Your environment is wrong ??

It likely means your PATH environment variable is not set.
export PATH=${PATH}:${INFORMIXDIR}/bin
onspaces should be in ${INFORMIXDIR}/bin/ if everything is installed
correctly.

is onspaces available to be used before the database server is initialized for
the first time, or only after?
Benji:
The onspaces utility is there and can be run, but it will not do anything
until the instance has been initialized. You cannot, for example, use
onspaces to allocate the rootdb dbspace only the initialization (oninit -i)
can do that.
