Restoring database servers for Windows

Use the ccmsrv restore command to restore a database server.

Before you begin

You must be an Informix-Admin group member and working as local administrator to perform this command. You must run this command on the machine where the database server resides.

Procedure

  1. Verify the system configuration and the configuration file.
  2. If possible, view the status of the database server.

    > ccmsrv status

    The output of this command is:

    *** database server tonnyx ***
    server number: 1
    state: online mode
    maximum users allowed: 10
    number of users: 1
    archive device: \\.\TAPE0
    network service: turbo
    Database List:
  3. The server must be offline before you begin the restore process. Take the server offline.

    > ccmsrv offline

  4. Verify that the server is offline.

    > ccmsrv status

    If the server is offline, you see a message like this one:

    Database server is Off-Line64

What to do next

You now can restore the database server from tape.
