Problem with ontape -r
I have problem to restore databases on a RM300 rebuild with DSSI. The
version of Informix is 7.14. After restoring the entire instance (all
dbspaces) with the ontape -r command, they become inconsistent ( Status PI )
and there's no way to change their condition.
Trying to perform an ONINIT command, I got the following message back :
"mt_shm_remove WARNING : may not have removed all/correct segments"
Please help me!
Are you waiting until the restore is complete before bring the engine
online?
By that I mean the fast recovery the engine goes into AFTER the restore is
done... only way to see is by typing onstat - and waiting to see when the
engine is in quiescent mode.

Shutdown your engine and reboot the machine. That's the only sure way to
clear out shared memory. You could try ipcs -a and ipcrm but you'll probably
end up rebooting anyway.
Have you thought of upgrading your engine to 7.31 ??? That may work better.
