Restoring Cache Dbspaces

If your installation uses the cache dbspace for direct-attached storage, preserve any files that were added to the cache dbspace before restoring the database.

Multiplex Considerations

To restore to the same location, make sure the cache dbspaces files and devices for all secondary nodes exist as before. If a file is not physically present in the secondary node path, you must drop the file or dbspace after the database is restored.

To restore a multiplex with a new location path for the database and dbspaces, you must either:
  • Use the DROP MULTIPLEX SERVER statement to drop all secondary nodes; then create the cache dbspace on each node; then add files manually, or
  • Use the ALTER MULTIPLEX SERVER statement to point each secondary node to the path of its cache dbspace and dbfiles.
