IDS 12.10FC4 on RHEL7/CentOS7
Jorg Seider could not install a new IDS 12.10FC4 instance on RHEL7/CentOS7 with raw devices on LVM volumes; it failed with 'Cannot open primary chunk'. Luis Panozzo said a bug required 12.10.FC4W1. Jacques Renaut suggested using character special raw devices instead of block special. David posted CentOS 7 install notes and asked when FC4W1 would be available.

Hi, anyone with installation success with a new instance IDS 12.10FC4 on RHEL7/CentOS7 (x86_64) especially on raw devices? Errors in my case are: "Cannot open primary chunk". Chunks are logical volumes (lvm2) with ownership informix.informix and access permission "660". My production system runs fine with IDS 11.70 on CentOS 6.5 (chunks also on logical volumes). Bye
Hi. You must download 12.10.FC4W1 Because a bug. Regards.

http://www.smooth1.co.uk/installs/dbinstalls.html Database product installation FAQ has been updated for Informix 12.10.FC4 on Centos 7. - i had to patch the vmware tools installation - package compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-71.el7.x86_64 replaced compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-69.el6.i686 - ncurses-libs are not needed on CentOS 7 When will the 12.10.FC4W1 release be available for evaluation download?
