RE: Trouble restoring database on test/recovery system

Have you followed the paths to find what devices your temp0-6 actually point to? Maybe the problem is with your test server (can it still see those devices).

I have done this processes 20-30 times in the last 2 years and never had any problems. I used an ontape -r to restore the database and that process finished and ended at the command prompt. When I tried to bring the database up in multi-user mode I get the following errors in the log file: 14:59:58 Warning: Invalid (non-existent/blobspace/disabled) dbspacelisted in DBSPACETEMP: 'temp0' 14:59:58 Warning: Invalid (non-existent/blobspace/disabled) dbspacelisted in DBSPACETEMP: 'temp1' 14:59:58 Warning: Invalid (non-existent/blobspace/disabled) dbspacelisted in DBSPACETEMP: 'temp2' 14:59:58 Warning: Invalid (non-existent/blobspace/disabled) dbspacelisted in DBSPACETEMP: 'temp3' 14:59:58 Warning: Invalid (non-existent/blobspace/disabled) dbspacelisted in DBSPACETEMP: 'temp4' 14:59:58 Warning: Invalid (non-existent/blobspace/disabled) dbspacelisted in DBSPACETEMP: 'temp5' 14:59:58 Warning: Invalid (non-existent/blobspace/disabled) dbspacelisted in DBSPACETEMP: 'temp6' Which tells me the engine has lost its mind and doesn't know about temp0-temp6. We have had these 7 temp spaces for years and I know of no changes to the onconf file. I have tried onmode onmode -yuk and then a new oninit. I even rebooted the server, I still get these error when I do a onint. So I tried oninit -r and I get a different problem, my log files fill up and then the process stops. We are using the alarm script to backup the logs to disk. This doesn't seem to work and I can't seem to do anything to get the log file cleared and remove the Blocked: CKPT. There has been no change in the alarm script in like 2-3 years. How can I get the database up and working again? Why did the ontape -r not work this time, what might have cause this? Should I try a new ontape -r? or something else. Any help or suggestions are welcomed. adamski cars: onstat -l IBM Informix Dynamic Server Version 9.40.HC3 -- Fast Recovery (CKPT REQ) -- Up 14:47:41 -- 1027988 KbytesBlocked:CKPT Physical Logging Buffer bufused bufsize numpages numwrits pages/io P-1 0 16 0 0 0.00 phybegin physize phypos phyused %used 13:53 67569 53105 0 0.00 Logical Logging Buffer bufused bufsize numrecs numpages numwrits recs/pages pages/io L-1 0 16 0 0 0 0.0 0.0 Subsystem numrecs Log Space used address number flags uniqid begin size used %used 9e23cfc8 51 F------ 0 12:53 4096 0 0.00 9f26a128 52 F------ 0 12:4149 4096 0 0.00 9f26a168 53 F------ 0 12:8245 4096 0 0.00 9f26a1a8 54 F------ 0 12:12341 4096 0 0.00 9f26a1e8 55 F------ 0 12:16437 4096 0 0.00 9f26a228 56 F------ 0 12:20533 4096 0 0.00 9f26a268 57 F------ 0 12:24629 4096 0 0.00 9f26a2a8 58 F------ 0 12:28725 4096 0 0.00 9f26a2e8 59 F------ 0 12:32821 4096 0 0.00 9f26a328 60 F------ 0 12:36917 4096 0 0.00 9f26a368 61 F------ 0 12:41013 4096 0 0.00 9f26a3a8 62 F------ 0 12:45109 4096 0 0.00 9f26a3e8 63 F------ 0 12:49205 4096 0 0.00 9f26a428 64 F------ 0 12:53301 4096 0 0.00 9f26a468 65 F------ 0 12:57397 4096 0 0.00 9f26a4a8 66 F------ 0 12:61493 4096 0 0.00 9f26a4e8 67 F------ 0 12:65589 4096 0 0.00 9f26a528 68 F------ 0 12:69685 4096 0 0.00 9f26a568 69 F------ 0 12:73781 4096 0 0.00 9f26a5a8 70 F------ 0 12:77877 4096 0 0.00 9f26a5e8 71 F------ 0 12:81973 4096 0 0.00 9f26a628 72 F------ 0 12:86069 4096 0 0.00 9f26a668 73 F------ 0 12:90165 4096 0 0.00 9f26a6a8 74 F------ 0 12:94261 4096 0 0.00 9f26a6e8 75 F------ 0 12:98357 4096 0 0.00 9f26a728 76 F------ 0 12:102453 4096 0 0.00 9f26a768 77 F------ 0 12:106549 4096 0 0.00 9f26a7a8 78 F------ 0 12:110645 4096 0 0.00 9f26a7e8 79 F------ 0 12:114741 4096 0 0.00 9f26a828 80 F------ 0 12:118837 4096 0 0.00 9f26a868 81 F------ 0 12:122933 4096 0 0.00 9f26a8a8 82 F------ 0 12:127029 4096 0 0.00 9f26a8e8 83 F------ 0 12:131125 4096 0 0.00 9f26a928 84 F------ 0 12:135221 4096 0 0.00 9f26a968 85 F------ 0 12:139317 4096 0 0.00 9f26a9a8 86 F------ 0 12:143413 4096 0 0.00 9f26a9e8 87 F------ 0 12:147509 4096 0 0.00 9f26aa28 88 F------ 0 12:151605 4096 0 0.00 9f26aa68 89 F------ 0 12:155701 4096 0 0.00 9f26aaa8 90 F------ 0 12:159797 4096 0 0.00 9f26aae8 91 U---C-L 137005 12:163893 4096 667 16.28 9f26ab28 92 F------ 0 12:167989 4096 0 0.00 9f26ab68 93 F------ 0 12:172085 4096 0 0.00 9f26aba8 94 F------ 0 12:176181 4096 0 0.00 9f26abe8 95 F------ 0 12:180277 4096 0 0.00 9f26ac28 96 F------ 0 12:184373 4096 0 0.00 9f26ac68 97 F------ 0 12:188469 4096 0 0.00 9f26aca8 98 F------ 0 12:192565 4096 0 0.00 9f26ace8 99
