rootdbs_data.000 has size 0
IPRA (Theo) installed Informix WS on NT Workstation 4 SP4 and the install hung initializing disk storage; the -iy startup did not work. Wolfgang Zager advised creating the missing rootdbs chunk files listed in ONCONFIG (TYPE NIL > filename). Yuri Dovgart suggested running starts with -iy from the command prompt and asked about SP4 compliance; Wolfgang said 7.30 TC7 or 7.23 TC14 is compliant. Unresolved.

Hi, I installed Informix WS on NT-Workstation 4(SP 4). Before the installation process ends the program hangs in the initialization of the disk storage. I reinstalled it and the same problem appeared. Does anyone know how to make a manual disk storage initialization. The start up of the informix WS service with parameter -iy don't work. Thanks, Theo
Hi, manual installation with option -iy should work. Maybe there are no files for Your primary chunk of rootdbs. Take a look in Your ONCONFIG and create empty files for the two chunks, or without mirroring one chunk, using TYPE NIL > "filename". I've done this several times an it works fine.

Try this "starts [NT_Informix_service_name] -iy" from the command prompt. BTW, is your Informix compliant with SP 4 ? -- With best regards, Yuri Dovgart, SAP R/3, Informix consultant, "Telecominvest" company.

Version 7.30 TC7 or 7.23 TC14 is SP4-compliant.
