Urgent: Assert Failures in message log

Hi All, We recently upgraded to IDS7.31UD6 verion from 7.31UD2R1 on HP-UX 11.0 box. While taking the archive of the database using ontape we are noticing these error messages in the log file Assert Failed: Archive detects that page 0x24b8391 is corrupt. So does anyone know of any known issues with 7.31UD6. Also how to interpret which chunks/dbspace it is showing error. We are using blobspaces also in the database Thanks, Vineet __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail SpamGuard - Read only the mail you want. http://antispam.yahoo.com/tools

Hi bro, have you ever tryed running "oncheck" ? how about export + import (to another box) ? Hope it helps.

For some reason, I never got your message via the mailing list. I also don't see the post I made today which coincidentally had to do with these assert failures as well. They do have a patch, but they didn't overwhelm me with confidence in it, using such phrases as "limited quality assurance", "not intended for long-term use", and "Its use presents inherent risks". With one exception, the Assert Failures have not brought the engine down. Informix Support claims the one that did was the same issue, although I wonder. Here's our typical assert failure - does it match what you see? 05:17:35 Level 0 Archive started on rootdbs, phylog, logfiles, db0, db1, db2, db3, db4 05:23:53 Archive on rootdbs, phylog, logfiles, db0, db1, db2, db3, db4 Completed. 05:23:53 invoke_alarm(): 159 bytes allocated but 180 used 05:23:53 Assert Failed: Memory block header corruption detected in mt_shm_malloc_segid 2 05:23:53 Informix Dynamic Server Version 7.31.UD6 05:23:53 Who: Session(68423, root@det_wms, 51180, 1342729620) Thread(68473, ontape, 50079f64, 1) File: mtshpool.c Line: 2850 05:23:53 Results: Pool repaired 05:23:53 Action: Please notify Informix Technical Support. 05:23:55 See Also: /dump/af.f61d4b9
