Loopback connection problems...

Hello all, I am running Linux Edition Suite on RedHat 6.0 (kernel 2.2.5). The installation went fine and the server came up fine. Then I decided to add a loopback connection (onsoctcp) through an alias and now the shared memory is not getting initalized. Here is the snippet from the online.log: 00:41:26 Event alarms enabled. ALARMPROG = '/home/informix/etc/log_full.sh' 00:41:32 DR: DRAUTO is 0 (Off) 00:41:32 Requested shared memory segment size rounded from 588KB to592KB 00:41:32 Informix Dynamic Server Version 7.30.U SoftwareSerial Number AAC#A63XXXX 00:41:32 listener-thread: err = -27100: oserr = 2: errstr = : InternalCommunications Error: NSF subsystem error. System error = 2. 00:41:32 Attempting to bring listener thread down 00:41:32 PANIC: Attempting to bring system down If it helps, here is the sqlhosts file: zobar onipcshm zobar xxx zobar_net onsoctcp 127.0.0.1 dbzobar and the etc/services: dbzobar 5000/tcp # Informix server and the DBSERVER names from onconfig: DBSERVERNAME zobarDBSERVERNAMEALIAS zobar_net If I remove the entries for the alias (zobar_net) it works dandy cool. Any clues? Thanks for your time... Sandeep Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Share what you know. Learn what you don't.

If it is the UC5, you need to upgrade to the UC7; if it is the UC7 version, I can't immediately help. And note that, as so often, providing the version number of the software can be key to getting a useful answer. -- Jonathan Leffler (jleffler@informix.com, jleffler@earthlink.net) Guardian of DBD::Informix v0.60 -- see http://www.perl.com/CPAN #include <disclaimer.h>
