Help please (reposted)

Hi all. We try to configure an IDS 9.21 FC2 on Solaris 7 with HDR. The clients though are 32-bits, so we were told to use TCP connections, not shared memory. For the previous version used (7.30), we were using shared memory, and our sqlhosts on one of the servers looks like: inf_shm onipcshm server_1 some_name inf_tlia ontlitcp server_1 infserv_sys otherinf_tlia ontlitcp server_1 otherserv_sys inf_tlib ontlitcp server_2 infserv_sys otherinf_tlib ontlitcp server_2 otherserv_sys My questions are: 1. How does HDR know which connection to use for HDR if there are more entries in the sqlhosts for the secondary server ? 2. Do we need to replace the shared memory connection with a new TCP one, listening to a new port, or we can use the existing TCP connection ? 3. Are there any performance issues if we use the same TCP connection ? Thanks in advance, Bogdan Neagu

HDR has to be to a different machine (since the chunks paths have to be the same) and hence will not use shared memory connections >3.
