Informix Error -23601

-23601 Backup Manager Error: A coserver can support at most one storage

manager.

A coserver id has been used for the BAR_WORKER_COSVR onconfig file parameter in more than one storage manager section. Edit the onconfig file so that the values of BAR_WORKER_COSVR for each storage manager section do not overlap.

Oninit® Troubleshooting Guidance

Reasons / Common Causes

-23601 fires when a coserver ID is used for BAR_WORKER_COSVR in more than one storage manager section — per the official guidance.

  1. A coserver ID assigned to BAR_WORKER_COSVR in multiple storage-manager sections, per the official guidance — the direct, only cause.
Solutions / Resolution
  1. Edit ONCONFIG so each storage manager section's BAR_WORKER_COSVR values don't overlap, per the official guidance.
Examples
N/A

No specific triggering statement is documented beyond overlapping BAR_WORKER_COSVR values.

Diagnostic Checks
  1. Check every storage-manager section's BAR_WORKER_COSVR values for overlap, and correct any coserver ID assigned to more than one.
