Problem IT34010
|
Status: Closed |
ONINIT SHOULD CHECK AND ADJUST ROOTSIZE WHEN COMING UP
|
| product: |
INFORMIX SERVER / 5725A3900 / C10 - IDS 12.10 |
| Problem description: |
ROOTSIZE onconfig parameter can be out of step with actual size
of root chunk as recorded in reserved pages. This can be the
result of an expansion of the root chunk, and it usually
wouldn't cause any problem and can work this way for a long
time. Where it can cause serious trouble, though, is if a
reserved pages extension happens to reside beyond that onconfig
ROOTSIZE, as this seems to be the limit the server is adhering
to during startup, so the reserved pages extension cannot be
read. |
