v If you are deploying data, the root dbspace is in the same absolute path on the

 

 

target computer as on the template computer.

 

v The target computer has sufficient disk space for the snapshot.

 

 

Tip: You need the same amount of space as was used on the template computer.

 

 

The space required depends on what you included in the snapshot, such as data,

 

 

extra files, or other applications.

 

To deploy the snapshot on the target computer:

 

1. Save a copy of the snapshot.

+

 

2. If not set, set the environment variables for INFORMIXDIR,

+

 

 

INFORMIXSERVER, and your locale. You can set the environment variables in

+

 

 

the ifxdeploy.conf file. The default locale is U.S. English. If the environment

+

 

 

variables or the locale are not set, the utility reads these settings from the

+

 

 

process environment and uses them to configure the instance.

+

 

3. If you want to provide your own configuration file, set the ONCONFIG

+

 

 

environment variable to the location of the file that you want to use. You can

+

 

 

set the ONCONFIG environment variable in the ifxdeploy.conf file. If you do

+

 

 

not set the ONCONFIG environment variable, or if the file specified by the

+

 

 

ONCONFIG environment variable cannot be found, the deployment utility

+

 

 

automatically creates a configuration file with standard configuration settings

+

 

 

(based on the onconfig.std file).

 

4. Optional: If there are specific parameter values in the onconfig file that you

 

 

want to modify, set them in the ONCONFIGoption section of the

 

 

ifxdeploy.conf file.

+

 

5. Run the ifxdeploy command with the appropriate options. The utility is located

+

 

 

in the bin subdirectory of the installation path. See “ifxdeploy Command: The

+

 

 

Deployment Utility” for supported options.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ifxdeploy Command: The Deployment Utility
