Converting data volume type from LINK to FILE on a Linux OS

34 Views

Dear experts,

I am currently running MaxDB 7.7.04.29 on Red Hat Linux 5.1. The file types for the data volumes were

initially configured as type LINK and correspondingly made links at the OS level via "ln -s" command.

Now (at the OS level) we have replaced the link with the actual file and brought up MaxDB. The system

comes up fine without problems but I have a two part question:

1) What are the ramifications if MaxDB thinks the data volumes are links when in reality they are files.

(might we encounter a performance problem).

2) In MaxDB, what is the best way to convert a data volume from type LINK to type FILE?

Your feedback is greatly appreciated.
