Hi,

I am trying to set up ISM on Informix 9.3 and I believe the pool names
ISMData and ISMLogs are not being created when I run ism_startup -init.
Could anyone tell me how to fix this problem?

The steps I followed to setup ISM are as follows:

Initialise ISM:
ism_startup -init
Add a file backup device:
ism_add -device /usr/informix/restore/ISM_ARC -type file
Label that device:
ism_op -label /usr/informix/restore/ISM_ARC -volume 1 -pool ISMData
At which point I get the following error:
nsrmm: Invalid pool name `ISMData'.

If I look at the list of labels in Informix's GUI Storage Manager I see the
following:
Default
Default Clone
Full
NonFull
Offsite

Neither "ISMData" or "ISMLogs" appear in that list

As you would expect, the onconfig Informix Storage Manager variables are:
ISM_DATA_POOL ISMData
ISM_LOG_POOL ISMLogs

Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
