Problem initializing engine with raw device for "phydbs"...

It will only initialize if I specify that the PHYSDBS be placed in the rootdbs. I'll attach the appropriate configuration files. The platform is Solaris 2.5.1. The IDS version is 7.30.UC3 Thanks in advance, Denmark W. ------=_NextPart_000_0174_01BF42FD.0B375D00 Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name="online.log" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="online.log" =0A= Thu Dec 9 11:51:56 1999=0A= =0A= 11:51:56 Event alarms enabled.

this is correct - when you initialize informix the physdbs must be in the rootdbs. after initialization you can move the physdbs to a different dbs. hope that helps.
