onbar strangeness in AIX 4.3
Posted in 1999
While running a battery of archive and recovery tests with on bar on
IDS 7.31UC2 on AIX 4.3.2 I encountered a rather strange problem. Just
curious if anyone else has seen this.
I had gone through 4 successul restore attempts. The fifth attempt was
interrupted by my connection to work going down and it failed.
I attempted to do the restore over, but recieved a message that the
rootdbs and physdbs were from different archives in online.log.
Checking bar_act, it appeared to be happy. I tried to manipulate my
ixbar to prevent it from restoring anything besides the last 0.
No luck so far. I've opened a ticket with Informix, but would like to
see if anyone else has seen this with onbar. I'd hate to think a failed
restore could cause this kind of problem....
Thanks,
