Onbar restore to different box

Folks -- We're working this with tech support, but they haven't gotten us an answer yet, so I thought I'd see if anyone has tried this before...... We're on Informix 7.22.UC2 on AIX 4.1.5 on an IBM SP (2 processor high node). We recently experienced a catastrophic failure of a disk which contained logical logs (and wasn't mirrored, yeah, yeah, I know, it's mirrored now...). So, we had to do a restore from backups. We had tested restores in a "normal" environment in the past, but when we tried to recover from the failure, we got errors saying our backups were corrupted. We recreated our database from flat files, and are back in business. We want to figure out what went wrong with the backups. We use ADSM on a remote server for our storage manager. We're trying to restore to a different SP node. We've copied over the ixbar.# file, the onconfig file, the sqlhosts file (with the name changed appropriately), set up our chunks the same, modified our ADSM config (we can restore standard files), and try to do a restore. We get: 1997-08-18 08:52:07 18400 29956 onbar -r -t 1997-08-05 23:59:59 rootdbs 1997-08-18 08:52:21 18400 29956 Successfully connected to Storage Manager. 1997-08-18 08:52:33 18400 29956 WARNING: ON-Bar was unable to get backup record of rootdbs from storage manager. 1997-08-18 08:52:34 18400 29956 ERROR: Unable to start the physical restore: Archive API error: already open. Has anyone ever restored from onbar to a different node, and if so, what are we missing? TIA.
