Initialize Disk Space and Shared Memory

Initialize Disk Space and Shared Memory:
 
|-- -i--+-----+-------------------------------------------------|
        '- -s-'

Element	Purpose	Key Considerations
-i	Causes the database server to initialize disk space and shared memory Leaves the database server in online mode after it initializes disk space	None.
-s	When used with -i, causes the database server to be left in quiescent mode after disk initialization	None.

When Dynamic Server 10.0 is first initialized with the oninit -iyv command, by default it comes online with large chunk mode fully enabled. Reversion is not possible. For more information about allowing large chunk mode, see Allow Large Chunk Mode.

Warning:

When you initialize disk space, the initialization destroys all data that your database server currently manages.

The database server must be offline when you initialize disk space.
