SYMPTOM(s):

Unable to start database because ai disks are not available.

** Cannot find or open file /d4/ai/<dbname>.a1, errno = 2. (43)

FACT(s) (Environment):

No additional disk space available to assign new ai extents.
All Supported Operating Systems
Progress 9.x

FIX:

Database must be restored into a structure where ai extents are not known using the following steps. The restored database will not have after imaging enabled.

1. backup the database using the -norecover parameter.
probkup -norecover <dbname> <device-name>
2. Rename or copy the original .st file.
3. Make a new <dbname>.st file that does not list any of the ai extents.
4. Prorest the database using the new st file that does not reference the ai extents.
prorest <dbname> <device-name> <new.st>

NOTE: There will be messages about the missing ai files but that just a warning message and may be ignored.
** Cannot find or open file /d4/ai/<dbname>.a1, errno = 2. (43)
5. Database is ready to be restarted without after imaging.

When the devices for the ai extents become available, after imaging may be re-enabled. Reference Solution P7394 "How to enable After-Imaging ?"
