Informix New User

I am soliciting input from anyone kind enough to share their experiences in establishing standards, policies, and procedures to run a production Informix server on a Unix platform. I am new to both Informix and Unix. I come from a DB2 mainframe background where production standards are well established. Using our existing standards as a starting point, I am trying to set up standards for our new Informix environment. Rather than re-invent the wheel or make the same mistakes everyone else has made all over again, I would really appreciate any information or advice that anyone would care to share with me. Thank you very much for any help you can offer. Jim
