Folks,
A client has a problem that baffles both me and INFORMIX Support. Maybe
someone else has seen it.
HP-UX K-410 on 10.10 HPUX
Online 7.13.UC1
INet 5.01WF1 on Win 95 (16 bit applications)
System has worked fine for months. Customer last night applied a lot of HP-UX
patches and relinked the kernel (patches for various things, including network).
Now, customer cannot connect from any PC. Checked all obvious things (sqlhosts,
/etc/services, setnet)....nothing has changed and everything should work.
onstat -g ath shows a listener on the port. Sniffer shows that packets aregoing to the server from the PC. PC can ping server by name and server can ping
PC by name. Multiple PC's have the same problem, get a -908 (network error)
in ilogin.
No server aliases and no shared memory net connection, just TCP/IP. dbaccess
works fine....it's using a tcp/ip (onsoctcp) connection. Also, an older
application using the relay module to connect from another client works fine.
See several -408 errors in informix.log, but nothing consistent. No other
errors. Multiple reboots of both server and client machines. Multiple
restarts of Informix did not fix problem.
It looks like Informix is fine, but it still doesn't work. My thinking is
that it's a HP problem (some of their *inet* libraries have been replaced in
the upgrade. Netstat -an | grep 1526 shows a listener on the port of the
server.
Anybody seen this?
Also, client wants to upgrade to HP-UX 10.20. Should I be quaking in my
boots?
Thankx
Joe
