Increasing the Sizes of Storage Spaces

If you notice that the Enterprise Replication dbspace or sbspace is running out of disk space, you can increase the size of the space by adding chunks to the space.

To add a chunk to a dbspace, use onspaces -a. For example, to add a 110 kilobyte chunk with an offset of 0 to the er_dbspace dbspace, enter:

onspaces -a er_dbspace -p /dev/raw_dev2 -o 0 -s 110

To add a chunk to an sbspace, use the same onspaces command above, however you can specify more information about the chunk that you are adding. After you add a chunk to the sbspace, you must perform a level-0 backup of the root dbspace and the sbspace.

For more information, see the sections on adding chunks to dbspaces and sbspaces in the IBM Informix Administrator's Guide and the utilities chapter of the IBM Informix Administrator's Reference.
