Re: Moving a chunk - a related question

>I'd like to ask a question about this method (at the risk of appearing dim) there is only one dumb question and that is the one which is not asked . This may cause a huge disaster...... > 1. shutdown > 2. swap the links, ie. link the primary to the mirror device and the mirror Don't!!!!!!!! if a disk is broken, then in your system reserved pages the chunk is marked as down. the system reserverd pages are located in your rootdbs. NOT in the dbspace your mucking around with. So if you swap links then the primary will still be offline and your mirror would be online... pointing to a broken disk YIKES. this can cause huge problems (inconsistentcy for one!!!!!!!) if you are lucky the engine will detect this and bring down the mirror as well. This will cause a restore...!!!!!!!!! So brink down say primary (onspaces...) do not shut the engine!!!!!! relink the primary to a new chunk bring up the primary (onspaces....) done (if you do not need mirror, you can get rid of that after this.)
