Re: *Network error* message received from onmonitor in Informix ODS v7.23 on Solaris

If you have separated the sqlhosts file for your two servers, you should point to the correct file using INFORMIXSQLHOSTS environment variable. By default, it is the $INFORMIXDIR/etc/sqlhosts and I guess the second server's entries are not found in it.
