He was unable to tell me what this did. Some other quotes from previous replies to this "check your Release Notes - $INFORMIXDIR/release/ONLINE_7.1 there should be a note, that kaio (Kernel Asynchronous I/O) has to be enabled on AIX." "In SMIT under devices you must configure the defined asynchronous IO device, it is not configured to be available by default. Make it available now and at reboot." "You need to start up the AIO subsystem: Run the following commands as root: chdev -l aio0 mkdev -l aio0 Then start the online engine." " Sound like either you have the wrong port of Informix (ELF instead of COFF binaries or something similar) or you could try setting the enviroment variable KAIO_OFF to 1 to disable Kernal Asynchronous IO (KAIO). Also check you release notes in $INFORMIXDIR/release/ONLINE_7.2" PS The last one was from me 1997/02/11 from www.dejanews.com !! >However, when I rebooted this morning, the same thing happend and I had >to run chdev and mkdev again.
