RE: HELP! oninit -i fails...

See comments under # ---------- From: trubisz@cs.sunysb.edu To: informix-list@rmy.emory.edu Subject: HELP! oninit -i fails... Date: Saturday, 23 August 1997 04:04 Hi... First off, new to Informix and medium UNIX. Machine: HP-9000 We have a version of Informix INstalled (7.1) and it runs fine. We want to put up a test version of 7.22 UC2. In doing this, we did a onmode -ky of our existing system. The target of the ROOTPATH is a cooked file. The onconfig used in the working system was copied to the new /etec directory and names were changed. rootdbs, tempdbs and physdbs were touched in the target directory. We then did a oninit -i and get the following in the log: Fri Aug 22 11:23:55 1997 11:23:55 Event alarms enabled. ALARMPROG = '/db1/informix/etc/log_full.sh' 11:23:56 DR: DRAUTO is 0 (Off) 11:26:49 INFORMIX-OnLine Initialized -- Complete Disk Initialized. 11:26:49 Warning: Invalid dbspace 'tempdbs' listed in DBSPACETEMP. 11:26:49 Checkpoint Completed: duration was 0 seconds. 11:26:49 DBspace(physdbs) for Physical Log File not found. 11:26:49 INFORMIX-OnLine Stopped. 11:26:49 mt_shm_remove: WARNING: may not have removed all/correctsegments # Both of these issues are caused by the same thing , according to the new rootdbs (database) you havn't created these dbspaces. ACTIONS REQUIRED 1) Backup your onconfig file. 2) Remove all dbspace variables from your onconfig (apart from ROOTDBS). 3) Start the instance. 4) Add the required dbspaces. 5) Stop the instance. 6) Copy in the backup of the onconfig. 7) Start the instance. Cheers, Tony. I haven't a clue what to do. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Joe
