HDR over secondary network

HPUX machines, Informix 9.4 We have a primary database server, srvA, and a server we want to use HDR to back the database up to, srvB. Both machines are on our primary network, as well as a sync network, where they have a different set of IP addresses (which are identified in the hosts files as srvA-sync and srvB-sync). We would like to do the HDR over the sync network. If I set the sqlhosts files to do HDR over the primary network, it works fine. If I set the sqlhosts files to do HDR over the sync network, it only works if srvB is not attached to the primary network. if srvB is attached to the sync network, I get the errors: 11:53:26 DR: new type = primary, secondary server name = srvB-db 11:53:26 DR: Cannot connect to secondary server 11:53:26 DR: Turned off on primary server 11:53:35 DR: Trying to connect to primary server = srvA-db 11:53:35 DR: Cannot connect to primary server 11:53:35 DR: Turned off on secondary server What is the trick to getting HDR to work over the secondary network?

We want the HDR to function entirely over the secondary network just as it does when the primary network does not exist.

OK, post the sqlhosts entries for the two servers and the exact onmode command you are trying to use to initiate HDR. Art S. Kagel
