The database server creates the oncfg_servername.servernum file in the $INFORMIXDIR/etc or %INFORMIXDIR%\etc directory when you initialize disk space. The database server updates the file every time that you add or delete a dbspace, a logical-log file, or a chunk. The database server uses the oncfg_servername.servernum file when it salvages logical-log files during a whole-system restore. The database server derives the name of this file from the values of the DBSERVERNAME and SERVERNUM parameters in the ONCONFIG configuration file.
The database server uses the oncfg_servername.servernum files, so do not delete them. For more information, refer to creating the oncfg_servername.servernum file in the IBM Informix Administrator's Guide and the IBM Informix Backup and Restore Guide.
