7.11.UC1 Database Hangs & Error 908
Posted in 1996
I'm joining a new group who is experiencing database hangs and error
908s.
If someone is logged into Informix and/or is running a process, they hang
with no error messages.
Users trying to connect receive 908 errors, Attempt to connect to
database server failed.
The Informix logs show no errors, last thing written is checkpoint
completed.
Machine: NCR 3000 Series
UNIX: System 5 Release 4 version 3
Informix: 7.11.UC1
3 Informix Instances on this machine - Not sure if all are hanging or
not. They probably are.
All connected via TCP/IP.
Copies of onstat reveal nothing: No lock or latch problems. Nothing
waiting for buffers...
Some of the Configuration parameters:
NUMCPUVPS 1
SINGLE_CPU_VP 1
NOAGE 1
LOCKS 140000
BUFFERS 4000
NUMAIOVPS 1
CLEANERS 1
SHMVIRTSIZE 8000
SHMTOTAL 0CKPINTVL 1800
LRU_MAX_DIRTY 10
LRU_MIN_DIRTY 5
LTXHWM 50
LTXEHWM 60
TXTIMEOUT 0X12C
STACKSIZE 32
That's all the preliminary information.
I'm planning to try a shared memory connection in an attempt to isolate
the problem ( Thinking it may be TCP ).
Any similar experiences, comments (flaming not welcome or appreciated),
suggestions...
Thank you in advance.
