1. Are you restoring level 0 backup on same server or another one? If another one, are VG/LUN are exactly same as primary one (primary one = where ontape backup done)? 2. Did you run oncheck to varify INDEX & DATA pages (I thinks it is cDI)? 3. I will check ipcs -m, just in case 4. I would also try restore with: ontape -r Cheers YVES VALLET <yvallet@ilta.fr> wrote: Server : IBM P520 64 bits, AIX 5.3.0.0 IDS V10 version 10.00.FC6 Problem : 1) We do a complete backup level0 with ontape -s -L 0 > backup_L0 At this time, database is OK , oninit -v shows all correct 2) onmode -ky 3) cat backup_L0 | ontape -p 4) onmode -ky 5) oninit -v results on : ================ result of oninit -v Checking group membership to determine server run mode...succeeded Reading configuration file '/u/informix/etc/onconfig.std'...succeeded Creating /INFORMIXTMP/.infxdirs...succeeded Creating infos file "/u/informix/etc/.infos.agaps_ids"...succeeded Linking conf file "/u/informix/etc/.conf.agaps_ids"...succeeded Writing to infos file...succeeded Checking config parameters...succeeded Allocating and attaching to shared memory...succeeded Creating resident pool 2480 kbytes...succeeded Allocating 20016 kbytes for buffer pool of 4K page size...succeeded Initializing rhead structure...succeeded Initializing ASF...succeeded Initializing Dictionary Cache and SPL Routine Cache...succeeded Bringing up ADM VP...succeeded Creating VP classes...succeeded Onlining 0 additional cpu vps...succeeded Onlining 2 IO vps...succeeded Initialization of Encryption...succeeded Forking main_loop thread...succeeded Initializing DR structures...succeeded Forking 1 'ipcshm' listener threads...succeeded Forking 1 'soctcp' listener threads...succeeded Starting tracing...succeeded Initializing 1 flushers...succeeded Initializing log/checkpoint information...succeeded Opening primary chunks...succeeded Opening mirror chunks...succeeded Initializing dbspaces...succeeded Validating chunks...succeeded Initialize Async Log Flusher...succeeded Forking btree cleaner...succeeded Initializing DBSPACETEMP list...succeeded Checking database partition index...FAILED oninit : Fatal error in shared memory initialization ================================================ And we can no longer use the database !

Hi, You perform an ontape -p command to restore a secondary instance for a HDR. This leaves the instance in a physical restore mode which expects either to restore any logical information first or to be connected to a primary instance using onmode -d (this is printed in online.log). I believe you have to activate the instance as secondary first after the restore and wait for the servers to synchronize before you shut it down. The physical restore itself did not fail according to your logfiles.

We try the same restore many times, with different files Backup_level0 , on a dataspace just cleared with oninit -i and have always the same problem. If we reload the database with DBIMPORT , all is OK the problem is with ontape.
