Initialize Disk Space

Before you initialize disk space , check the setting of your ONCONFIG environment variable. If you have not set it correctly, you might overwrite data from another database server. When you initialize disk space for a database server, the database server initializes the disk space specified in the current ONCONFIG configuration file.

Warning:

As you create new dbspaces for a database server, be sure to assign each chunk to a unique location on the device. The database server does not allow you to assign more than one chunk to the same location within a single database server environment, but it remains your responsibility as administrator to make sure chunks that belong to different database servers do not overwrite each other.
