Re: Migration & Chunkpaths (DSA 7.24)

No can do. Actually the primary chunk is NOT changed, just ask onstat -d! It is just that when the engine starts up and reads the OTHER link, as specified in $ONCONFIG it reads the chunklist table from there, closes the ROOTDBS file specified in $ONCONFIG and reopens the chunks as named in the reserved page chunklist table. You cannot modify the chunk table yourself without detailed knowledge of the IDS disk structures, Informix tech support has no tool to rename chunks, and tech support will NOT alter any disk structure without a tested and proven tool.
