No Options
If you execute tbinit without options, OnLine is left in online mode after
shared memory is initialized. For example, the following commands take
OnLine offline and then reinitialize shared memory:
tbmode -ky
tbinit
-i Option
If you use only the -i option, OnLine is left in online mode after initializing
disk space. If you use both the -i and -s options, OnLine is left in quiescent
mode.If you initialize disk space and overwrite an existing root dbspace, all data
associated with that OnLine system becomes inaccessible and lost.
-i specifies disk-space initialization.If you initialize disk space, all
existing data on the disk you are initializing is destroyed.
-p directstbinit not to search for and delete temporary tables
during shared-memory initialization.
-s directstbinit to leave OnLine in quiescent mode following
initialization. This option is equivalent to theDB-M onitor
Mode menu, Startup option.
-y automatically responds “yes” to all prompts.
