Informix upgrade Error

Hi, I am getting following error during IDS version upgrade From IDS11.50.FC8W3 to IDS12.10FC4W1. 22:53:58 IBM Informix Dynamic Server Version 12.10.FC4W1 Software Serial Number AAA#B000000 22:53:58 Conversion from version 11.50.xC6 Started 22:53:58 Checking partition header pages for needed free space 22:53:58 The partition header page for partition 0x4009aa has 12 bytes of free space and 32 bytes of free space is needed 22:53:58 Partition page 4196778 does not have enough space. 22:53:59 Checking for space in partition header pages failed 22:53:59 oninit: Fatal error in shared memory initialization Kindly help me to resolve this alert. Currently around 1.4G space is available in root db space

Partition header pages should not be full, during/after conversion it might require more space. In the documentations to the 12.10 migrations it is said: If your migration fails because there is insufficient space in the partition header page, you must unload your data before you try to migrate again. Then you must manually load the data into the new version. http://129.33.205.81/support/knowledgecenter/SSGU8G_12.1.0/com.ibm.mig.doc/ids_m ig_041.htm Check the table in question and the information given using oncheck -pT 4196778. Try to recreat it making more space available, reduce the extents if possible. Keen regards.

One of your dbspaces doesn't have enough free space to complete the conversion. You will need to add space to it before trying again. Art Art S.
