Re: Changing the path of a chunk from onstat -d output.

Bob: Yes you can make the change in path of a chunk. Please follow the below procedure to do it. Contact Informix tech support engineer and provide the details of the chunk information. Informix engineer has to login into your server, they analyze the server configuration and reserved pages, they can make an update in the actual pages of the database server where the chunk information stored while the database server in off-line. This feature (change in chunk path name) coming in as part of IDS 9.4 I believe. DBA itself can make this change without going thro' Informix tech support.

We have certain naming standards here for chunk names on a given server. We base some scripted infrastructure around these standards. Unfortunately a chunk has been added to a server whereby the link pointing to the actual raw device has the wrong name, which is showing in the onstat output. This is causing glitches in some of our scripts. My question is, "Is it possible to update the fname field in syschunks, create the corrected link and they bounce the server? If this proves successful then remove the original incorrect link?". Has anyone tried this? The server version is 7.30 running on Solaris 2.8.
