Changing the Physical-Log Location and Size

To change your physical-log location or size, use a text editor to edit the ONCONFIG file.

Log in as user informix or root when you make the changes. The following sections describe each of these methods.

For any of the three methods, to activate the changes to the size or location of the physical log as soon as you make them, shut down and restart the database server to reinitialize shared memory.

Create a complete level-0 backup immediately after you reinitialize shared memory. This storage-space backup is critical for database server recovery.
