Online hangs during oninit after reboot.

Folks, Sorry I should have provided a few more details initially. Here is the squence of events: 03:00 1. We shut down the engine with onmode -ky (probably no users present) 2. The RS6000 box is rebooted. 3. We restart the engine with oninit It during step 3 that the online instance hangs. Below are the lines from the online.log file. 02:05:40 Checkpoint Completed: duration was 0 seconds. 03:03:16 INFORMIX-OnLine Stopped. 03:13:51 VP pid=13632 priority fixed at 65, former = 114 Sat Aug 23 03:13:58 1997 03:13:58 Event alarms enabled. ALARMPROG = '/usr/informix/log_full.sh' 03:13:58 VP pid=21060 priority fixed at 65, former = 65 03:13:58 VP pid=21318 priority fixed at 65, former = 65 This is where is sits until I kill the VPs. If you do a onstat - the state will indicat Initializing. After the VPs are killed I issue a oninit and the engine starts up okay. This is the line from online.log indicating that I killed the VPs. 04:51:19 mt.c, line 9319, thread 20, proc id 13632, Unexpected virtual processor termination, pid = 24932, exit = 0x9 And this is from where I issued the oninit. 04:54:12 VP pid=25906 priority fixed at 65, former = 120 Sat Aug 23 04:54:19 1997 04:54:19 Event alarms enabled.
