First of all excuse me for my english ....
When I started informix with the command oninit. I get a message 'Bad Primary Chunk /usr/informix/db/onedbs'. The chunk onedbs is in this directory with permissions 660 and informix informix own/grp.
Thank you

The chunk seems to be unusable.

Make sure that your can read from this chunk by
executing the following command as user
'informix':

dd if=usr/informix/db/onedbs of=/dev/null

If this works without problems, you probably need
to restore your databaseserver because the rootdbs
has been corrupted.

Check also your 'online.log' file. If this is a production
server I would recommend to open case with
IFMX tech support.

HTH.
Best regards
