What to do ? I imagine he means that you should set your INFORMIXDIR to /opt/informix/7.31 (or whatever directory structure you are using), so that when you type oninit, the one in 7.31 the bin directrory is executed.

This simply means that you have to use the 9.21 binaries to do the reversion (onmode -b), then use the 7.3 binaries to re-start the informix engine. The easiest way to have several versions of informix is to install them in different directories and point the INFORMIXDIR environment variable to the one you want to use. Of course, you also have to adjust your PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH accordingly. It would cause havoc if you just set INFORMIXDIR to the 7.3 directory tree and leave PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH still pointing to the 9.21 binaries.
