What Happens During Shared-Memory Initialization
Disk Space Commands
You can direct OnLine to initialize disk space (and automatically initialize
shared memory) in any one of three ways:
■ tbinit -i (UNIX command line)
■ tbinit -i -s (UNIX command line)
■ Parameters menu, Initialize option (DB-Monitor)
When you initialize disk space, all existing data on the disk you are initial-
izing is destroyed.
Ifyouuseonlythe -i option, OnLine is leftinonlinemodeafterinitialization.
If you use both the-i and -s options, OnLine is left in quiescent mode. If you
initialize OnLine via DB-Monitor, OnLine is left in quiescent mode.
What Happens During Shared-Memory Initialization
Thetbinit processinitializes sharedmemory, without initializing diskspace,
when user informix or root executes any one of the following commands:
■ tbinit
■ tbinit -p
■ tbinit -s
■ tbinit -p -s
You can execute any one of these commands from the UNIX prompt. If you
initialize shared memory from within DB-Monitor, the tbmonitor process
executestbinit -s foryou, either fromtheParametersmenu, Shared-Memory
option, or from the ModeMenu,Startup option.Referto page 2-8forfurther
information about each of the tbinit command-line options.
