RE: Any assistance appreciated: Dynamic Server Initialisation Fa

Obnoxio, Unfortunately yes, the devices are correct, all of the network details are right, sqlhosts, /etc/hosts /etc/services the installed software is valid and was running prior to the restore. I will recheck everything again, but doubt that is going to yield any gains. Thanks for replying. Cliff. If /etc/services is halaal it might explain some of the errors as it may be off on the Hajj and taken the instance with it. :) -----Original Message----- From: Obnoxio The Chav [mailto:obnoxio@serendipita.com] Sent: Saturday, 22 January 2005 11:49 AM To: Burton, Clifford Cc: informix-list@iiug.org Subject: Re: Any assistance appreciated: Dynamic Server Initialisation Failure Burton, Clifford said: > > I have a situation where the IDS-731UD4 instance I run on HP-UX 11 is > failing after a cold restore. Are the permissions on your disk chunks OK? Are they the same names as before? Are your Informix binary and library permissions correct? Is your /etc/services still kosher (or halaal or whatever)?
