hello all,

I have cloned our production server, system and database, to another server for testing (back-up and restore, disaster recovery).

But when I try to bring up the database, there are some chunks that are part of an SAP dbspace that are down. How do I manually recover down chunks?

System is AIX 4.3.3 and Informix 7.31

thank you.

Are those chunks really down. See with 'onstat -d' or are the inconsistent. (PI = Inconsistent, PD = Down).

Normally after a restore chunks should come online. You can't force them online easily. Normally you also don't want to, because there is a reason why they are down.

If they are inconsistent then maybe you need to restore logical log's. Everything depends on the method of backup and restore (command and options)

Greetz,
