Hi I have an urgent problem. I tried to restore a dbspace using 'onbar -r -p dx_cdm_dbs -O' but the restore crashed right after the dbspace was set offline/down. Now I would like have this dbspace back online or dropped. But when I try this : abrudv0_TESTM>onspaces -s dx_cdm_dbs -p /dev/rdxtn1_201_004 -o 600004 -O Warning: Bringing chunk back online. Do you really want to continue? (y/n)y Verifying physical disk space, please wait ... Cannot change chunk status. ISAM error: illegal argument to ISAM function. How can I get my dbspace back online ?? or how can I drop the dbspace without corrupting the sysmaster database ? Bjarne Alm. Brand

You can call tech support and after reminding you that your data may be so much poop they can force the chunks and dbspace to be online. Oh and don't dismiss the warnings out-of-hand. Art S.
