onstat -g dis

Hi All Where the information "onstat -g dis" comes from ? I have a 11.5 environment with 3 existing instances, I dropped an old instance but I can see its name in "onstat -g dis". This doesn't cause any issue for operation but I am wondering where this info comes from ? Regards Ali

hi Maybe from file infos file in $INFORMIXDIR/etc and/or .conf.xxxxxxx ls -la will show you hidden files for example .infos.asp132_ecmp_live .conf.asp132_ecmp_live_rep removing these files you will find onstat -g dis no longer displays instance.

Thanks Karl worked. regards
