From Offline to Microkernel

When you take the database server from offline to microkernel mode, the database server is available to perform a cold restore of all stored data from a level-0 backup. To take the database server from offline mode to microkernel mode for a cold restore, execute the following command:

xctl -C oninit -m 

To verify that the database server is running, execute xctl onstat from the command line. The header on the onstat output displays the current operating mode.

Warning:
Perform a cold restore with ON-Bar only as a last resort to restore corrupted critical media. For information about performing cold restores from backup, refer to the IBM Informix: Backup and Restore Guide.
