Change Physical Log Location or Size
Create a level-0 archive immediately after you reinitialize shared memory.
This archive is critical for OnLine recovery.
You canchange thevalue of PHYSFILE orPHYSDBSwhileOnLine isin online
mode,butthechangesdonottakeeffectuntilyoureinitializesharedmemory
(take OnLine offline and then to quiescent or online mode). If you use the
command-line option, you reinitialize shared memory in the same step.
If you are logged in as user informix, you can change the size or location of
thephysicallogfromwithin
DB-Monitororfromthecommandline.Ifyouare
logged in as root, you must use the command-line option.
From DB-Monitor
1. From within DB-Monitor, select the Parameters menu, Physical-Log
option to change the size or dbspace location, or both.
2. The Physical Log Size field displays the current size of the log.
Enterthe new size(inkilobytes) if you wanttochange the sizeofthe
log.
3. The Dbspace Name field displaysthecurrent location ofthe physical
log.Enterthenameofthenewdbspaceifyouwant to change the log
location.
4. You are prompted, first, to confirm the changes and, second, if you
want to shut down the system. This last message refers to reinitial-
izing shared memory. If you respond Y, DB-Monitor reinitializes
shared memory and any changes are implemented immediately. If
you respond N, the values are changed in the configuration file but
do not take effect until you reinitialize shared memory.
5. If you reinitialize shared memory, create a level-0 archive immedi-
ately to ensure that all recovery mechanisms are available.
