RE: replication of 2 Linux-engines

Looks like you're trying to get HDR working: (1) Do you have BOTH servers defined in the sqlhosts file on BOTH servers? (2) Are you using network-type, i.e., not shared-memory, connections? (3) Do you have those network connection services defined in the /etc/services files on BOTH servers? (4) From each server, can you ping to the other server? (5) Are the servers "trusted" to each other? This requires entries in the /etc/hosts.equiv files on both sides, or in the ~informix/.rhosts files on both sides. You can make sure they are trusted by: logon to the informix id on one box, then rlogin to the other box -- if it does NOT ask for a password, then they are trusted (trust relationship must go both ways).

The servers are indentical (all files and locations...). I make (I think so) all right, like discribed in the manual: 1.) "ontape -s" and "onmode -d primary on_ifx3" on the primary server (=on_ifx2) 2.) "ontape -p" and "onmode -d secondary on_ifx2" on the secondary (=on_ifx3) The logfiles tell me, that a failure-recovery is in progress, onmonitor say "on" in the field state (of data-replication) on both servers, the secondary is "read-only(sec)". After about two minutes in the secondary's logfile online.log I can read "Checkpoint record not Found in logical log". After this, the state of secondary goes "off". But no other error-messages are shown. An other problem is, that the primary is read-only (it seems so), I can not change any values in the tables, but a connect of the sever is possible. Have anybody experiences in replicating two linux-boxes an can help me ? Thank you ! Adi
