Moin,
we have two HP-Server's, which are connected two one informix-database. (Normally the should running in Cluster mode)
The problem:
If you are running one HP server with informix, the database starts
correct (and vice versa).
But, if both server running in cluster mode, informix does not come up.
The database ends up in quiescent mode.

The online.log from Informix:
02:49:58 Informix Dynamic Server 2000 Version 9.21.HC4
02:49:58 (7) connection rejected - no calls allowed for sqlexec

02:49:59 Physical Recovery Complete: 0 Pages Examined 0 Pages Restored.

02:49:59 Logical Recovery Started.
02:49:59 10 recovery worker threads will be started.
03:20:38 Informix Dynamic Server 2000 Started.

Any idea's are welcome.
Thanks Thomas

What I see in your online.log is that the fast recovery seems
to take some time. During this phase no client connections
are allowed:


02:49:58 listener-thread: err = -27002: oserr = 0: errstr = : No connections are allowed in Dynamic Server 2000 quiescent mode.


This is normal. After the fast recovery has completed, the
databaseserver will automatically switch to 'online' mode.

You also have to make sure, that the Informix instance is only
started at one machine in the cluster at any time.
You could not start the instance twice (on 2 nodes) if you are
using the same (shared) disk devices. This is not supported
by Informix. This only works with Oracle Parallel Server or
Oracle RAC.
