Re: HDR crashed after upgradation

Hi, I am trying to upgrade from IDS V11.50FC4 to IDS V11.50FC6. We currently have Replication running(HDR). We have a primary, secondary and RSS running. I followed the recommended steps but this did not work on the secondary and RSS. Here is what i did: Installed new version of informix on all 3 servers. This was done in a seperate INFORMIXDIR. Shut down informix on all 3 servers. Reset environment so it was pointing to FC6. Started the primary, which started ok, but what was of interest is that it showed.. Quiescent (PRIM) and Single-User (PRIM) whilst conversion went on. Once complete it only showed ON-LINE, note it did not show (PRIM). When i tried to start the secondary and RSS, this is what i got, has anyone else had this problem: 09:46:48 IBM Informix Dynamic Server Started. 09:46:48 WARNING: If you intend to use J/Foundation or GLS for Unicode feature(GLU) with this Server instance, please make sure tha t your SHMBASE value specifies in onconfig is 0x700000010000000 or above.

Yep. I ran across the exact same thing when testing the xC6 upgrade from xC4. I had to archive the primary and reestablish replication on the secondary and RSS servers. Normal upgrades between patch versions have worked for me in the past like you expected. xC6 contains new features so there are changes to partition headers and SQL components. -----Original Message----- From: ids-bounces@iiug.org [mailto:ids-bounces@iiug.org] On Behalf Of RICK HILL Sent: Friday, January 29, 2010 4:15 AM To: ids@iiug.org Subject: Re: HDR crashed after upgradation [18841] Hi, I am trying to upgrade from IDS V11.50FC4 to IDS V11.50FC6.

Since you are upgrading from 11.50.FC4 to 11.50.FC6 and primary server = went through conversion, you will have to re-establish HDR and RSS from the backup of converted primary server. Here are the steps for High-Availability Cluster Migration/Upgrade -- http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/idshelp/v115/topic/com.ibm.mig= .doc/ids_mig_256.htm Hope this helps.. - Nilesh - ids-bounces@iiug.org wrote on 01/29/2010 04:14:57 AM: > From: > > "RICK HILL" <rick.hill@barclaycard.co.uk>: > > To: > > ids@iiug.org > > Date: > > 01/29/2010 04:15 AM > > Subject: > > Re: HDR crashed after upgradation [18841] > > Sent by: > > ids-bounces@iiug.org > > Hi, > I am trying to upgrade from IDS V11.50FC4 to IDS V11.50FC6. > We currently have Replication running(HDR). > We have a primary, secondary and RSS running. > I followed the recommended steps but this did not work on the seconda= ry and > RSS. > Here is what i did: > Installed new version of informix on all 3 servers. > This was done in a seperate INFORMIXDIR. > Shut down informix on all 3 servers. > Reset environment so it was pointing to FC6. > Started the primary, which started ok, but what was of interest is th= at it > showed..
