Problem is that I think your config might be having all the old values like physical log configuration and DBSPACETEMP configuration parameters, so set PHYSDBS to rootdbs and remove tempdbs (if any) and also reduce the logsize and physfile sizes too. you should be able to do oninit -i successfully. once informix is online create dbspaces and life is back to normal Girish
