Hi All,
Ed, since you are using 386HPFS with a 64GB file size limit, your 3GB
tablespace backup shouldn't be a problem?

Hi Ed,
Err, export doesn't backup the actual DB design, you need to do a
backup.
Have you discussed export with the DB2 gurus responsible for your DB2
server?
Are they happy with export?

Subject:   Boot managers & mixed SCSI/IDE systems

Hi All,
Can somebody point me to some good documentation on how to install a
boot manager that works on a mixed SCSI/IDE system running WS4eB CP3?

I've got a AHA2940UW with 2GB SCSI HDD setup as:
C: Primary
D: Logical

2 40GB IDE
E: LVM
F: LVM

Using IBM's Boot Manager comes up with errors.

Would AirBoot solve this problem?

I'm thinking it might be better to make *all* partitions logical/LVM &
only have the boot manager primary.
Would this solve problems?

Regards,

Daryl  Pilkington
