Secondary HDR physical move

Earlier today we physically moved our secondary server to a different rack. We first stopped the connection manager, then Informix, then shutdown the machine. After doing the physical move, we powered up the server, then started Informix via "oninit -s". The online.log shows several connection attempts, but then gives up and stops. On the primary machine, I get this in the online.log: "(-83992) This edition of Informix Dynamic Server supports only 2 secondary nodes in a cluster. Stopping connection attempt.". So, it seems that even though we stopped the secondary nicely, the 'connection' is still registered with the primary server. How do I clear out this stale entry and get my secondary back online? The setup is three Linux servers (HDR primary, HDR secondary, RSS), running Informix 12.10FC1 -Justin

Turns out there is a bug in 12.10FC1 that doesn't correctly remove the connection on the primary (APAR IC97910). Since we are using workgroup edition, the 3 server limit is already at capacity, so adding a 4th connection is blocked. It is marked as fixed in FC3. -Justin > -----Original Message----- > From: ids-bounces@iiug.org [mailto:ids-bounces@iiug.org] On Behalf Of > Justin Killen > Sent: Thursday, April 03, 2014 1:08 PM > To: ids@iiug.org > Subject: Secondary HDR physical move [32858] > > Earlier today we physically moved our secondary server to a different > rack.
