This section tells you what to do before performing a partial-system warm restore of your Informix database if you use ON-Bar as your data recovery tool (that is, for your database and logical-log backups).

1. Identify the dbspaces you want to restore.
2. Verify your database server configuration.

Make sure that the current database server configuration is compatible with, and accommodates, all ONCONFIG parameter values assigned after the most recent backup. Use the copy of this file that was in use at the time of the backup.

All raw devices or files that have been used since the level-0 backup must be available. For example, changes might include chunks added, dbspaces dropped, dbspaces mirrored, and so on.

For more information, see the Informix documentation.

3. Make sure that the free space in the dbspace TEMPDBS is at least as large as the dbspace LOGDBS before you start the restore.

Now you can go on to Performing Physical Restore for a Partial-System Warm Restore (ON-Bar).
