"Network down" on fresh install

Hi, I'm trying to set up a new installation of Informix, and not having done anything much with Informix for something like 5 years, I recon I'm a bit rusty ... Install is on a Linux system, Informix is 9.40UC7. It seems to be running halfway, oninit -i initialized the rootdbs it seems, onstat shows this: IBM Informix Dynamic Server Version 9.40.UC7 -- On-Line -- Up 00:28:54 -- 157052 Kbytes Userthreads address flags sessid user tty wait tout locks nreads nwrites 16abb018 ---P--D 1 root - 0 0 0 18 7 16abb630 ---P--F 0 root - 0 0 0 0 0 16abbc48 ---P--- 6 root - 0 0 0 0 0 16abc260 ---P--B 7 root - 0 0 0 0 0 16abd4a8 ---P--D 10 root - 0 0 0 0 0 16abdac0 Y--P--D 13 root - 1008b944 0 0 0 0 6 active, 128 total, 18 maximum concurrent Profile dskreads pagreads bufreads %cached dskwrits pagwrits bufwrits %cached 21 37 28 25.00 7 7 0 0.00 isamtot open start read write rewrite delete commit rollbk 12 4 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 gp_read gp_write gp_rewrt gp_del gp_alloc gp_free gp_curs 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ovlock ovuserthread ovbuff usercpu syscpu numckpts flushes 0 0 0 3.07 0.40 1 14 bufwaits lokwaits lockreqs deadlks dltouts ckpwaits compress seqscans 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ixda-RA idx-RA da-RA RA-pgsused lchwaits 0 0 0 0 1 I've mostly copied onconfig from the old install (Inf 9.30 though), sqlhosts file should be OK, too ... gekos onipcshm gekos gekos Shared memory for communication seems to be set up right, too: ----- Gemeinsamer Speicher: Segmente ----- Schlüssel shmid Besitzer Rechte Bytes nattch Status 0x07021999 0 root 644 1420 2 0x00000000 720897 informix 660 33554432 1 dest 0x00000000 753666 informix 660 33554432 1 dest 0x00000000 786435 informix 660 33554432 1 dest 0x00000000 819204 informix 660 9162752 1 dest 0x00000000 851973 informix 660 33554432 1 dest 0x00000000 884742 informix 660 16777216 1 dest 0x00000000 917511 informix 666 663552 1 dest 0x52574801 1048584 informix 660 109826048 12 0x52574802 1081353 informix 660 50331648 12 0x52574803 1114122 informix 666 663552 12 onmonitor complains about "Network down" - where can I check what could be causing this? Also, should ontape on this install be able to restore an image create with 9.30UC2 on the old system? I get this when I try a -p or -r: Please mount tape 1 on /tmp/a2 and press Return to continue ... Physical restore failed - function read archive backup failed code -1 errno 0 Program over. Thanks!!!

Your problem with onmonitor could be environment var setup. It's hard to guess. <SNIP> > onmonitor complains about "Network down" - where can I check what could > be causing this? Contact support. Any new install gets installation support. > Also, should ontape on this install be able to restore an image create > with 9.30UC2 on the old system? I get this when I try a -p or -r: No. Ontape will not restore an archive from a different version. You'd have to get 9.30 to do the restore then upgrade that restored instance to 9.40 in place by starting the new software with ROOTDB pointed to the restored root dbspace. <SNIP> Art S. Kagel
