Files that ON-Bar and storage managers use
ON-Bar, Informix® Primary Storage Manager, and Spectrum Protect use particular files in your installation.
The following table lists the files that ON-Bar and Spectrum Protect use and the directories where the files are. These names and locations change if you set up the onconfig file to values different from the defaults.
| File name | Directory | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| ac_config.std | UNIX™: $INFORMIXDIR/etc Windows™: %INFORMIXDIR%\etc |
Template for archecker parameter
values. The ac_config.std file contains the default archecker (archive checking) utility parameters. To use the template, copy it into another file and modify the values. |
| ac_msg.log | /tmp %INFORMIXDIR%\etc |
The archecker message log. When you use archecker with ON-Bar to verify a backup, it writes brief status and error messages to the ON-Bar activity log and writes detailed status and error messages to the archecker message log. Technical Support uses the archecker message log to diagnose problems with backups and restores. Specify the location of the archecker message log with the AC_MSGPATH configuration parameter. |
| bar_act.log | /tmp %INFORMIXDIR% |
ON-Bar activity
log. For more information, see bar_act.log file: ON-Bar activity log. |
| bldutil.process_id | /tmp \tmp |
When the sysutils database is created, error messages appear in this file. |
| dsierror.log | $DSMI_LOG | Spectrum Protect API error log. |
| dsm.opt | $DSMI_CONFIG | Spectrum Protect client user option file. |
| dsm.sys | $DSMI_DIR | Spectrum Protect client system option file. |
| Emergency boot files (ixbar* files) | $INFORMIXDIR/etc %INFORMIXDIR%\etc |
Used in a cold restore. For more information, see ixbar file: ON-Bar emergency boot file. |
| oncfg_servername.servernum | $INFORMIXDIR/etc %INFORMIXDIR%\etc |
Configuration information for ON-Bar restores. The database server creates the oncfg_servername.servernum file when you initialize disk space. The database server updates the file every time that you add or delete a dbspace, a logical-log file, or a chunk. The database server uses the oncfg* file when it salvages logical-log files during a cold restore. The database server uses the oncfg* files, so do not delete them. |
| save, savegrp, savefs | $INFORMIXDIR/bin | |
| sm_versions | $INFORMIXDIR/etc %INFORMIXDIR%\etc |
Identifies
the version of a
third-party storage manager. To update the storage-manager version, edit the sm_versions file directly. The Informix Primary Storage Manager does not use the sm_versions.std file. |
