Device-configuration file for the Informix Primary Storage Manager
The onpsm utility can generate a device-configuration file, which is a text file that contains information about a storage device. The utility uses this information to re-create the devices.
The configuration file contains the following information about each device:
- DEVICE
- The complete path to the device
- TYPE
- Type of device
- FILE = file directory on a disk device
- POOL
- The pool that contains the device, either DBSPOOL, LOGPOOL, or EXTPOOL
- BLOCKSIZE
- Not applicable for disk devices.
- SIZE
- Not applicable for disk devices.
- PRIORITY
- The priority of the device
For example, the device-configuration file might
contain the following information
DEVICE=/vobs/tristarm/sqldist/psm_backup/dbspace
TYPE=FILE
POOL=DBSPOOL
BLOCKSIZE=0
SIZE=0
PRIORITY=HIGH
