Informix: What's the best mode to perform "disk" operations and why?

Question

Hello everybody!

I'm doing some work with Informix IDS. I have to create some dbspaces, sbspaces, etc.

Which mode is better to make this changes? Quiescent, or Single-user? Why?

Thanks a lot!

I've found the answer.

In IDS 11, appears not to be a "best way", but ther's a new mode out there, named "Administrative mode". It's like single-user mode, but for more than one user. In other words something like ‘Mostly-Single-User mode’
