RE: 2nd instance problem - still looking at 1st instance

Something in your environment isn't being reset. How are you resetting $INFORMIXDIR and $INFORMIXSERVER? -----Original Message----- From: forum.subscriber@iiug.org [mailto:forum.subscriber@iiug.org] On Behalf Of Danny Wright Sent: Thursday, June 16, 2005 3:51 PM To: ids@iiug.org Subject: RE: 2nd instance problem - still looking at 1st instance [5173] Already done - the first instance is SERVERNUM 0, the 2nd is SERVERNUM 1 -----Original Message----- From: Palmer, George [mailto:George.Palmer@pegs.com] Sent: Thursday, June 16, 2005 4:12 PM To: Danny Wright; ids@iiug.org Subject: RE: 2nd instance problem - still looking at 1st instance [5171] Change the SERVERNUM ( two instances can not use the same SERVERNUM on the same machine ) George -----Original Message----- From: forum.subscriber@iiug.org [mailto:forum.subscriber@iiug.org] On Behalf Of Danny Wright Sent: Thursday, June 16, 2005 12:59 PM To: ids@iiug.org Subject: 2nd instance problem - still looking at 1st instance [5171] After I set up one instance and everything seems to be working, I attempted to create a 2nd one. I have entries in /etc/services for both instances. I have entries in /informix/etc/sqlhosts for both. I have unique values for ROOTPATH, MSGPATH, SERVERNUM, DBSERVERNAME and DBSERVERALIASES in my config files (there is no mirroring). And finally, I am changing the INFORMIXSERVER and ONCONFIG environment variables when I attempt to switch instances. I've created separate links to my logical volumes and I've double-checked that they are not pointing to the same ones. But, when I do an onstat -d in the 2nd instance, it shows me information from the first instance. I've just gotten off the phone with our software vendor (who we are supposed to have Informix support through), but they were absolutely NO help - after 45 minutes, all I got was a useless document (their's, not Informix's) telling me to do what I had already done. Environment: AIX 5.3 IDS 9.40 Thanks in advance,
