HDR problems

Hello , Iam doing a HDR for 2 informix servers on HP-UX :- Informix Dynamic Server Version 7.31.FD6 -- On-Line -- Up 33 days 07:46:25 - - 661824 Kbytes But when I was doing a ontape -p on secondary server , it showed or asked me "do you want to restore a level-1 backup ?" ...I gave an answer as "NO" and after some time secondary server showed :- "Fast Recovery" and the following in the logs :- INFORMIXSERVER=ppcmaldagmxsv05(informix)/home/informix> onmode -d secondary ppcmaltcp agmxsv05(informix)/home/informix> agmxsv05(informix)/home/informix> date Sun Jun 19 23:50:54 mal 2005 21:03:48 Physical Restore of rootdbs, logdbs, physdbs, wlthdbs, cometsdbs, wipl otdbs, ntcdatdbs, lecdatdbs, cmtsumdbs, ntcenhdbs, pwlthdbs, logdbs1, phydbs1 Co mpleted. 21:03:48 Checkpoint Completed: duration was 0 seconds. 21:03:48 Checkpoint loguniq 20766, logpos 0xb0c018 23:48:20 DR: new type = secondary, primary server name = ppcmaltcp 23:48:20 DR: Trying to connect to primary server ... 23:48:20 DR: Cannot connect to primary server 23:48:20 DR: Turned off on secondary server _______________________________________________________________________________ My question is :- 1] when I do "ontape -p" [only physical restore], should the restore on secondary leave the informix server in "Fast Recovery" Mode ? 2] Or after completing ontape -p , there are other steps to take the server to "online" mode Please let me know.

Did you register secondary server on primary (onmode -d primary secondary_server)? If so what does primary server log shows (when secondary is trying to connect to primary)? -Ajay

After restoring the secondary using "ontape -p" you did the right thing to switch this server to secondary: "onmode -d secondary <primary_name>" Now the secondary wants to connect to a "primary server". You have to switch the Primary using "onmode -d primary <secondary_name>". After this you will see: connected to primary server. On the primary you will see: connected to secondary server. secondary server needs logical recovery. sending log xxx .... and after a while: recovery complete. primary operational. At this point the secondary will switch from recovery to secondary (read-only). gerd "SAGAR THANAWALA" <sagarthanawala@yahoo.com> schrieb am 20.06.05 15:21:29: > > Hello , > > Iam doing a HDR for 2 informix servers on HP-UX :- > Informix Dynamic Server Version 7.31.FD6 -- On-Line -- Up 33 days 07:46:25 - > - 661824 Kbytes > > But when I was doing a ontape -p on secondary server , it showed or asked me "do you want to restore a level-1 backup ?" ...I gave an answer as "NO" > > and after some time secondary server showed :- > > "Fast Recovery" and the following in the logs :- > > > INFORMIXSERVER=ppcmald> agmxsv05(informix)/home/informix> onmode -d secondary ppcmaltcp > agmxsv05(informix)/home/informix> > agmxsv05(informix)/home/informix> date > Sun Jun 19 23:50:54 mal 2005 > 21:03:48 Physical Restore of rootdbs, logdbs, physdbs, wlthdbs, cometsdbs, wipl > otdbs, ntcdatdbs, lecdatdbs, cmtsumdbs, ntcenhdbs, pwlthdbs, logdbs1, phydbs1 Co > mpleted. > 21:03:48 Checkpoint Completed: duration was 0 seconds. > 21:03:48 Checkpoint loguniq 20766, logpos 0xb0c018 > > 23:48:20 DR: new type = secondary, primary server name = ppcmaltcp > 23:48:20 DR: Trying to connect to primary server ... > 23:48:20 DR: Cannot connect to primary server > 23:48:20 DR: Turned off on secondary server > > _______________________________________________________________________________ > > My question is :- > 1] when I do "ontape -p" [only physical restore], should the restore on secondary leave the informix server in "Fast Recovery" Mode ? > > 2] Or after completing ontape -p , there are other steps to take the server to "online" mode > > Please let me know. > > ______________________________________________________________ Verschicken Sie romantische, coole und witzige Bilder per SMS!
