On-Archive Setup...
Hi all, Could somebody help me in setting up the On-Archive tool. If you have a installation/setup guide for using On-Archive then this will help me. I have IDS 7.3 running on HP Box. Thanks in advance. Regards, Santanu ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
What one person told me (in SAP/Informix class)... if you use on-archive and it works, DON'T CHANGE IT. if you don't use on-archive --- DON'T START.

If you want to use tape define this as TAPE = /dev/rmt0h 2.Then you must go to On-Archive (I'm using menu interface, it seems to me much easy then command ). 3.First of all, you create vset with your device type. Vset is logical grouping of volumes. 4.Then specify volumes for this vset. Remember, each volume means that you must enter another tape in tape drive. When you define volume on particular tape, unique header will be written on this tape with params, defined for this volume (size,etc.). 5.After desired number of volumes was installed, you can create OnArchive archive request. In request you must specify vset, defined in previous steps. During request you can specify whether this request will be executed immediately, or you will execute this request manually later. For detailed overview see 'Archive and Backup Guide' - you can find it on www.informix.com. Hope this helps. ---------------------------------------------------- With best regards, Yuri Dovgart SAP R/3, Informix technical consultant, Senior System Consultant System Architecture and High Availability Systems, 'Telecominvest' company Email y_dovgart@tci.ukrtel.net ICQ 39284285 > > Thanks in advance. > > Regards, > > > Santanu > > ______________________________________________________ > Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
