Linux & TCP: -27100 error

Hi, I have been using Informix/Linux (Informix Dynamic Server Version 7.30.U) happily on Linux, until now, when I trieed to activate a TCP connection in addition to the shm. I added an entry to the sqlhosts file, mentioned it in DBSERVERALIAS, and upon startup (oninit) I get the follwoing in the log: Tue Sep 14 19:14:42 1999 19:14:42 Event alarms enabled. ALARMPROG = '/usr/informix/etc/log_full.sh' 19:14:48 DR: DRAUTO is 0 (Off) 19:14:48 Requested shared memory segment size rounded from 588KB to 592KB 19:14:48 Informix Dynamic Server Version 7.30.U Software Serial Number ... 19:14:48 listener-thread: err = -27100: oserr = 2: errstr = : Internal Communications Error: NSF subsystem error. System error = 2. 19:14:48 Attempting to bring listener thread down 19:14:48 PANIC: Attempting to bring system down I checked a lot of things (even tried to hunt the problem with strace because I assumed "System error=2" might be an ENOENT for some thing or other) but to no avail. I saw that this problem has been reported to this group by somebody else a few months ago, but he didn't get a followup besides "use a newer kernel" (I am using 2.2.12)... any hope? Thanks, again Frederik -- Frederik Ramm (frederik@remote.org)

Have you tracked down (with finderr or otherrwise) what the -27100 error means? -- Jonathan Leffler (jleffler@informix.com, jleffler@earthlink.net) Guardian of DBD::Informix v0.60 -- see http://www.perl.com/CPAN #include <disclaimer.h>

U is all it says in the online.log, and onstat doesn't say more either... The release notes I have say UC5 though. Can you point me to somewhere where I can find out what exactly is dubious about this and if/how to upgrade? > Are you using olsoctcp (correct) or oltlitcp (incorrect)? I assume you mean onsoctcp, that's what I am using. > Have you tracked down (with finderr or otherrwise) what the -27100 > error means? I tried but finderr says "message not found" and my dead-tree Informix error codes manual only has a big gap where -27100 ought to be. Bye Frederik -- Frederik Ramm (frederik@remote.org)
