RE: Trying to recover Secondary using ontape -l

When you transferred the log file over to the secondary, did you make sure that permissions are 660, owner:group = informix:informix? You might need to check directory permissions, too, to make sure that 'ontape' can access the file and symlink.

This is exactly what I was doing - two sessions open, with the other one doing the "switching" of tapes, while the other one is doing the ontape -l. My question is why ontape is prompting me to insert another tape when I have the right "tape" in the current log tape device. I know I have the right log file - why is ontape asking me if I want another one? I don't have any other log backup that contains log number 21270. -- Posted via http://dbforums.com sending to informix-list
