AW: ontape: AIX 5.3/4.3.3 compatible ?

32 bit programs are (should be) compatible between AIX 4.3 and 5.x I suspect that it might not be an issue between AIX versions , but rather a recovery problem (aka bug) in the IDS engine, rather than the ontape tool. You might have noticed that it is the main_loop thread that crashed. To workaround it : try to copy all chunks to new location (use 'dd' or move the disks). To get the issue fixed: have Informix support investigate the problem or check IBM Support Web pages for possible causes and solutions.

We have an ontape backups from a IDS 7.31.UD8X7 with AIX 4.3.3. For some reason we need to restore this on IDS 7.31.UD8X7 with AIX 5.3. For a instance with small databases (< 10 GB) it worked fine. Then we tried for a instance with bigger databases (> 50 GB). Here the instance went down: 13:57:21 Physical Restore of rootdbs, physdbs, logdbs, svvs001,svvs002, svvs003, svvs004, svvs005, svvs006, svvs007, svvs008 Completed. 13:57:21 Checkpoint Completed: duration was 0 seconds. 13:57:21 Checkpoint loguniq 33654, logpos 0x2d018 13:58:06 No logical log restore will be performed. 13:58:06 Clearing the physical and logical logs has started 14:39:00 Cleared 7999 MB of the physical and logical logs in 2454seconds 14:39:00 Physical Recovery Started. 14:39:00 Physical Recovery Complete: 0 Pages Restored. 14:39:00 Logical Recovery Started. 14:39:03 Logical Recovery Complete. 0 Committed, 0 Rolled Back, 0 Open, 0 Bad Locks 14:39:04 Bringing system to Quiescent Mode with no Logical Restore. 14:39:05 Quiescent Mode 14:39:05 Assert Failed: Dynamic Server must abort 14:39:05 IBM Informix Dynamic Server Version 7.31.UD8X7 14:39:05 Who: Session(1, informix@ffzd0xa6, 0, 1342709784) Thread(7, main_loop(), 50058018, 3) File: rslog.c Line: 3271 14:39:05 Results: Dynamic Server must abort 14:39:05 Action: Reinitialize shared memory 14:40:53 See Also: /opt/informix/IDS.7.31.UD8/tmp/af.3ef72f9, shmem.3ef72f9.0 14:40:53 Error writing '/opt/informix/IDS.7.31.UD8/tmp/shmem.3ef72f9.0' errno = 28 14:40:53 rslog.c, line 3271, thread 7, proc id 950330, Dynamic Servermust abort. 14:40:53 PANIC: Attempting to bring system down I heard it's officially not supported. But I can't see the reason for this ? Isn't AIX 5.3 binary compatible to AIX 4.3.3 ???
