Level 0 Restore errors

When I am doing a resotre from a level 0 archive to another m/c with same configuration, I am getting errors after some time. Two Dbspaces got restored and when the restoration of third one is in progress. There is no activity in hard disks for a while and process exits showing the following error messages. Physical restore failed. Eunction read archive backup failed. code -1 errno - 5 Error reading from network. Abnormal End!!! At this time, our onstat -D & onstat -d read as below. Any solution will be highly appreciated.

Hi Sampath, Hold the restore for a bit (you do seem to have time on your side!). Confirm that your Informix versions are identical - not just the major number, but the entire number - i.e you must have v7.30FC7 on both machines. If they are, try the following : 1. Copy your production onconfig file to your new machine, changing only the DBSERVERNAME & DBSERVERALIASES. 2. Using this onconfig file, create an instance on your new machine with all chunk names and sizes identical to that on production. You will have to temporarily change some settings in the onconfig file (PHYSDBS, LOGFILES, DBSPACETEMP) when initializing the instance, but when you are done, you should have restored all your onconfig settings to those on production (except DBSERVERNAME & DBSERVERALIASES). 3. Double-check your onstat -d output as being identical except for the value of "free". 4. Now, bring down the "new" engine and carry out your restore. If it still fails, call tech support. Rudy P.S.
