which servers are up?

I was trying to find some problems we have here with an Informix On-line Dynamix Server on a Solaris SPARC, and when I do a onstat -a | less I get at a point this: DDR -- Down -- There are 2 servers found Server : ultra208 Server Number : 0 Server Type : ODS Server Status : Up Server Version: Informix Dynamic Server Version 7.30.UC6 Shared Memory : 0xa000000 INFORMIXDIR : /space/informix ONCONFIG : /space/informix/etc/onconfig.std SQLHOSTS : /space/informix/etc/sqlhosts Host : ultra208 Server : max Server Number : 1 Server Type : ODS Server Status : Up Server Version: Informix Dynamic Server Version 7.30.UC6 Shared Memory : 0xa000000 INFORMIXDIR : /space/informix ONCONFIG : /space/informix/etc/onconfig.ultra208 SQLHOSTS : /space/informix/etc/sqlhosts Host : ultra208 What does this mean? Do I have two servers up? There should be only one, at least thats how I configured it.

The "DDR" message is the result of a "previous" command (onstat -g ddr) and has nothing to do with the servers listed below it. As for why you show two servers, my guess is at one time someone either tried to bring up a second instance of informix on this server or perhaps initially brough up informix without a DBSERVERNUMBER. At any rate - it's not doing you any harm. If it really bothers you, the next time you bring Informix down, delete the .conf.xxx and .infos.xxx files from $INFORMIXDIR/etc. They will be recreated without the extra entrys the next time the engine is brought up.
