not able to start informix

Hi All, I am having my backup team re-restore the raw logical volumes on the message I posted yesterday in this forum. However, I have another system that is moving from idaho to texas. The restore for this looks better. Here is some info that might help you diagnose my issue. Contents of /etc/services $ grep 3801 /etc/servicessapinfPS1 3801/tcp #informix PS1 Contents of $INFORMIXDIR/etc/sqlhosts.soc platops1shm onipcshm plato sapinfPS1 platops1tcp onsoctcp platob sapinfPS1 I get the following messages when trying to start informix. Thu Mar 6 07:27:04 2008 07:27:04 Event alarms enabled. ALARMPROG = '/informix/PS1/etc/no_log.sh' 07:27:13 DR: DRAUTO is 0 (Off) 07:27:13 listener-thread: err = -25572: oserr = 227: errstr = : Network driver cannot bind a name to the port. System error = 227. 07:27:13 Attempting to bring listener thread down. 07:27:13 Server stopped.

It need not be an actual service/port though it can be, however, I've often seen problems when it is the same as a real service/port used for another connection on the same machine (even for a different server instance but certainly for the same instance it should be different). The setting for soctcp below is fine, change sapinfPS1 above to something like sapinfSHMdummy > platops1tcp onsoctcp platob sapinfPS1> Are plato and platob aliases or separate interfaces for the same local machine, or is that a typo?

What is INFORMIXSERVER set to when you start IDS ? platops1tcp or platops1shm ? Unless ist a typo it appears strange to me that tcp server has host set to 'platob' ? What does oserr 227 mean (grep for it in errno.h files under /usr/include ) It is almost certainly some sort of config issue. HTH Tilman
