Art,
Thanks for your answer.
At each VMWare "machine" has its own set of disks.
It's a very little instance , the "backup file" built by a "ontape -s -L 0" have size: 29.4 MB.
Each virtual machine has a set of disks: PLEASE, TAKE A LOOK OF THE FOLLOWING....
Take look: host vmware-48 is the 'primary', hostname vmware-51 is 'secondary' and
vmware-52 is the 'RSS' instance.

AS I cannot start the 'primary' instance, I started the 'secondary' , to show you
the dbspaces and chunks (remember all instances have the same set of dbspaces and
chunks).

I notice you that I'll run a 'oninit -ivy' command and after that I'll run dbimport of (only one) db that I have included in this instance and I'll do everything again.
If you have some advices to send me before, I'll appreciate it and I thank you.
After words, I'll send you the results.
Best regards.
