We are trying to upgrade from Online 4.1 to 5.0 on an HP-UX 8.0 We get the error "Online MUST abort - primary chunk is down" when trying to save the Shared Memory parameters : this is very strange as the exact procedure on an HP-UX 8.02 (tho' with a much smaller database) worked fine. Is there anything we can do besides dbexporting re-initialising and dbimporting, as this will take a long time with a 1Gig database which is needed NOW! When we restoe the 4.1 environment it comes up without a murmur - any suggestions out there? Thanks in advance, Richard Ridley
