Creating database servers using configuration files for UNIX

About this task

To create a database server using a configuration file for UNIX®, type:

   root# su - informix
   Password:*****
   $ ccmsrv create -file config_filename

A configuration file might look like the following:

   # Database Server Configuration file for vodtest
   #
   # Server Number
   SERVERNUM 10
   # Maximum Number of Users
   USERS 40
   # root dbspace parameters
   ROOT_CHUNK_PATH /xfile1/ifmx_chunks/root.dbs
   ROOT_CHUNK_SIZE 61440
   ROOT_CHUNK_OFFSET 0
   TEMP_CHUNK_PATH /xfile1/ifmx_chunks/temp.dbs
   TEMP_CHUNK_SIZE 40960
   TEMP_CHUNK_OFFSET 0
   # log dbspace parameters
   LOG_CHUNK_PATH /xfile1/ifmx_chunks/log.dbs
   LOG_CHUNK_SIZE 40960
   LOG_CHUNK_OFFSET 0
   # Archive device
   /dev/null
   # ccm dbspace parameters
   CCM_CHUNK_PATH /xfile1/ifmx_chunks/ccm.dbs
   CCM_CHUNK_SIZE 81920
   CCM_CHUNK_OFFSET 0
   # end of file

When the database server creation is completed, the server configuration is written to a configuration file named servername (the HOSTNAME, by default) in the $CCM_HOME/informix/etc directory.
