oninit: Fatal error in shared memory initialization

Hello - Any thoughts on what could be causing this error: The DBA was attempting to turn on "logical logging" (???), but now he is gone for the weekend and the system is down and I am just trying to find a temp workaround...Thank you!

There is possibly more infomation worth posting in the file /usr/informix/tmp/af.3fd68be. You might want to run an oncheck -pr and make sure that none of the chunks of the system are marked down. If you do have non mirrored chunks that are down, you would likely have to call into tech support and have them do something about it.

Looks , you also have memory segments problem. Run "ipcs" , there should be no line for "informix" if IDS is shut down. Otherwise, you may need run "ipcrm" to remove the segments first.

Looks to me like a permissions or physical error on your first chunk. If you grep for ROOTPATH from $INFORMIXDIR/etc/$ONCONFIG and ls -lL the results of that, what do you get? <debbie@diversifiedmetals.com> wrote in message news:1169845172.755080.55970@j27g2000cwj.googlegroups.com... > Hello - Any thoughts on what could be causing this error: > > The DBA was attempting to turn on "logical logging" (???), but now he > is gone for the weekend and the system is down and I am just trying to > find a temp workaround...Thank you! > > (Linux with IDS 10) > >>From the oninit -v process: > .... > Forking 1 'ipcshm' listener threads...succeeded > Forking 1 'soctcp' listener threads...succeeded > Starting tracing...succeeded > Initializing 8 flushers...succeeded > Initializing log/checkpoint information...FAILED > oninit: Fatal error in shared memory initialization > >>From the online.log: > > Fri Jan 26 15:46:48 2007 > > 15:46:48 Event alarms enabled.

Phone Tech support, something is terribly wrong with page > 15:46:54 Assert Warning: I/O bad request chunk 1, pagenum 995264, some info should also be in:> /usr/informix/tmp/af.3fd68be or restore from archive Superboer.
