The following material:

• Change Physical-Log Parameters
• Where the physical log is located, in the chapter on what is the physical log in the IBM Informix Administrator's Guide
• Changing the physical-log location and size, in the chapter on managing the physical log in the IBM Informix Administrator's Guide

PHYSDBS specifies the name of the dbspace that contains the physical log. To reduce disk contention, you can move the physical log to a dbspace other than the root dbspace.

When you initialize disk space (oninit -i), the PHYSDBS value must be equal to the ROOTDBS value.
