Get ipcshm buf_wait semop errno=43 on Restore

Hello, (Testing/learning purpose.) Briefly, I have one server IDS 14.10 with demodb database And another server with identical disk definition and IDS 14.10 installed. I made an ontape -s -L 0on the first server Got an archive of 39MB I copied the archive file to the second server, I changed the name of the archive and tried to restore it on the second one with ontape -pAnd I get in online log: … 09:08:30 Dataskip is now OFF for all dbspaces 09:08:30 Restartable Restore has been ENABLED 09:08:30 Recovery Mode 09:08:32 Physical Restore of rootdbs, dblog started. 09:08:35 Aborting physical restore of ROOT DBSpace 09:08:35 Aborted by client. 09:08:35 IBM Informix Dynamic Server Stopped.And in the shell: … Continue restore? (y/n)y Do you want to back up the logs? (y/n)n 10:23:05 ipcshm buf_wait semop errno=43 Physical restore failed - /rootdbs_fs/rootdbs: write failed, file system is full. What am i doing wrong ?

It look likes but it s not It s a new install server with same dbspaces size as the primary server and some gigas free on the root filesystem Really strange ! OK, maybe i ll reinstall the server... Thanks ------------------------------ Sh To ------------------------------

On the target server does Oninit -i work - basically can you get a base engine to run? Long shot but check the inodes - df -h will not show a FS out of inodes. If you have lsof see if there are any orphaned processes holding on to space in the FS Cheers Paul Paul Watson Oninit LLC +1-913-387-7529 www.oninit.com Oninit® is a registered trademark of Oninit LLC

Hi Yes, the oninit -i worked ids-hdr:/IDS/informix$oninit -i This action will initialize IBM Informix Dynamic Server; any existing IBM Informix Dynamic Server databases will NOT be accessible - Do you wish to continue (y/n)? y ids-hdr:/IDS/informix$onstat - IBM Informix Dynamic Server Version 14.10.FC4W1 -- On-Line -- Up 00:00:17 -- 165416 Kbytes ids-hdr:/IDS/informix$And after the install i shut down the server and try to restore and now i have system full on /dblog_fs/dblog (instead of roodbs) online.log 15:23:11 Dataskip is now OFF for all dbspaces 15:23:11 Restartable Restore has been ENABLED 15:23:11 Recovery Mode 15:23:13 Physical Restore of rootdbs, dblog started. 15:23:22 Checkpoint Completed: duration was 0 seconds. 15:23:22 Mon Jun 21 - loguniq 44, logpos 0xbbf018, timestamp: 0x4109d0 Interval: 1234 15:23:22 Maximum server connections 0 15:23:22 Checkpoint Statistics - Avg.

Could you provide more info - e.g. OS on both servers; df on both servers; ipcs on both servers; ls -l /dblog_fs on both servers Hrvoje ------------------------------ Hrvoje Zokovic ------------------------------

Hello This problem is solved. I was really a problem of disk space, even if the two virtual machines (source and destination) were configure the same way. One machine was Centos 7 and the second one Rocky Linux 8 I apparently did something wrong and i don't know what. It s not so important because it was only for testing. I increased the size of the destination VM (virtualbox) disks and it worked. Thanks a lot Samuel ------------------------------ Sh To ------------------------------
