help: oninit -i -> error
Posted in 1997
Hi !
Recently our disk holding the informix raw partition failed :(
We are using online dynamic server 7.1 on solaris 2.5.
Currently I am trying to setup informix to use another raw partition
(partition 7 on another disk, same host).
I changed my onconfig and tried to initialize by (being root)
oninit -i
onconfig looks like:
ROOTPATH /scratch/root_chunk
ROOTOFFSET 0 # Offset of root dbspace into device
ROOTSIZE 20000 # Size of root dbspace (Kbytes)
[...]
However, oninit results in the following error (log msg):
20:32:12 DR: DRAUTO is 0 (Off)
20:32:13 The chunk '/scratch/root_chunk' must have owner-ID andgroup-ID set to informix.
20:32:13 INFORMIX-OnLine Stopped.
20:32:14 mt_shm_remove: WARNING: may not have removed all/correctsegments
/scratch/root_chunk is a symbolic link to the raw partition. This link
was created by user informix as well as group informix. I made
sure that the raw partition is owned by informix/informix and mode
660.
I even tried not to use a raw partition but a unix file, the same
problems arise.
Any help is very much appreciated...
