do you have any idea what data was in the chunk stored on there?

Personally I wouldn't tamper with oncfg_ files

It's not too critical - IDS regenerates them from information in the reserved pages, etc.

I think you need to restore your archive, however the archive will
expect the file /disk_extern/prueba/plogicallog_2  to exist so you'll
need to recreate that device ot the archive won't restore.


Yes!

As this sasy "disk_extern" is this a remote mounted disk and the
connection (cross mount) has been lost? If so, recreating that may
resolve the problem.

If it was remote mounted, then (a) performance was likely bad, and (b) it is not clear that the configuration was ever supported. It depends a bit on the nature of the remote mount - if it was a SAN/NAS type appliance, then your chances are better than if it was a random NFS file system on a random server.

Either way, until that system is brought back (or an equivalent created), Massoroto is going to have a tough time.

Hi Superboer,

I tried what you suggested:

informix@BO:/export/home/informix$ ls -lL
/disk_extern/prueba/plogicallog_2
/disk_extern/prueba/plogicallog_2: No such file or directory

and seems that this chunks does not exist.

Is it possible to drop this chunk by deleting it from the file
oncfg_prueba.4? Or it must be restored using ontape?

Thank you.
