Hi I'm creating a backup server, the question that i have is

Can the dbspaces be different sizes from one server to the other and consist of different number of chunks.
The reason for this question in that I want to do a ontape -r on the second server to initially make the mirror image.

for example:
I have a dbspace on the production server that is made up if 4 different 1GB chunks.

Can I create the dbspace with the same name (obviously) but only use 2-4 2GB chunks to make it initially bigger?
Will I have problems with ontape since the dbspaces are not the same size?

Hi,

For onbar -r or ontape -r the size and name of chunks must be equals or of greater size.
Depending on Ibm-Informix version, can you change the name of the chunks in restore back-up.

Gustavo.
