IBM Informix OnLine Database Server Administrator’s Guide

Use an operating-system editor to edit the parameters in the new configu-
ration file. Do not use

onitor for this task. If you use

DB-M

onitor, you will

edit the values of the existing OnLine configuration file, and not the new one
as you intend. (

DB-M

onitor accesses the OnLine configuration indicated by

TBCONFIG

 at the time.)

In the new configuration file, change the following four configuration
parameters:

■

ROOTPATH

■

SERVERNUM

■

DBSERVERNAME

■

MSGPATH

The

ROOTPATH

 parameter specifies the location of the root dbspace for this

OnLine database server. The root dbspace location must be unique for every
OnLine configuration.

If the root dbspace is mirrored, you must also ensure that the location of the
root dbspace mirror, is unique. (The same situation exists if you are nesting
several mirrors within the same partition.

MIRRORPATH

need not be unique.)

Refer to

 for more general information about setting the value of

ROOTPATH

 and

 for more information about

MIRRORPATH

. Also

consider whether offsets to the root dbspace or its mirror are required. If
offsets are needed, specify them with the

ROOTOFFSET

 and

MIRROROFFSET

parameters.
