Creating a New Database Server

Before you set up multiple residency, you must install one database server as described in Preparing to Install Dynamic Server.

Important:
You do not need to install more than one copy of the database server binary files. All instances of the same version of the database server on one computer can share the same executable files.
To create multiple residency of a database server
  1. Prepare a new onconfig configuration file and set the ONCONFIG environment variable to the new filename (page Setting Up the onconfig File).
  2. If needed, set up connectivity for the new database server instance (page Setting Up Connectivity Information).
  3. Initialize disk space for the new database server instance (page Initializing Disk Space).
  4. Prepare the backup environment for multiple residency (page Preparing the Backup Environment for Multiple Residency).
  5. Modify the operating-system startup to start the new database server instances automatically (page Modifying Operating-System Startup for Multiple Server Instances).
  6. Check the INFORMIXSERVER environment variables for users (page Setting the INFORMIXSERVER Environment Variable).

For more information, see the IBM Informix: Dynamic Server Administrator's Guide.
