Is there a bug with ontape -r on Informix IDS 7.31UC2 on AIX 4.3.3? Product defect query is no longer available on the IBM/Informix web site I attempted a cold restore yesterday to a seperate server with the same architecture and received the following error. funtion ioctl failed code -1 errno 5 Physical restore failed - function failed code -1 errno 5 Program over A warm restore also failed, just giving the following information in the error. Cannot perform warm restore on Root DBSpace. If there is a bug, is there a work around or patch for this bug? If there is not a bug, can anyone give me some direction to fix this? Thanks in advance, Roy S Verstegen

Roy Errno 5 is an O/S error indicating I/O error. Is your tape /tape drive good? Are your disks OK? Are there any further clues in the O/S logs? Try restoring from a different tape.
