Create Blobspaces and Dbspaces
Create Blobspaces and Dbspaces
After OnLine is initialized, you can create blobspaces and dbspaces as
desired.If youplan to use blobspaces, Informixrecommendsthat youcreate
one or two blobspaces before you create a dbspace. The reasonfor this is the
way that OnLine archives data. During an archive, OnLine temporarily
blocks blobpage allocation in a chunk until the chunk is archived. Since
chunks are archived in order, it is to your advantage to create a blobspace
early to ensure that the chunks in the blobspace receive low chunk ID
numbers. This guaranteesthatthe chunk isarchivedearlyin the processand
available to receive blobs for the duration of the online archive. Refer to
page 4-35 for more information about what happens during an online
archive.
For more information about how to create a blobspace, refer to page 3-88.
For more information about how to create a dbspace, refer to page 3-97.
Errors During Initialization
Figure 1-3 on page 1-51 contains a list of preparatory tasks that must be
performed properly for initialization. If any of these actions are omitted or
performed incorrectly, errors can result.
If you receive an error during initialization, verify that you performed these
tasks properly. If the list does not identify the error, use the following infor-
mationtohelpyouinterprettheerrormessage.Thesourceofaninitialization
error message could be either OnLine or your UNIX operating system.
