I have a question... I am trying to set up a new server on 9.4 FC5 (HP-UX 11.11) My initial dbsapce is smaller than 2GB. That is the only dbspace created. When I try to run onmode -BC 2 I get the following error Illegal change of BigChunk status attempted quitting. . . Is there something I need to do when I initialize the instance to enable big chunks? Maybe a new onconfig parameter that I am missing? thanks.

That's not right. Fortunatly, the logic for big chunk is really at the dbspace level. The BC2 stuff is really to indicate that the customer is ready to commit to the BC format. M.P.
