Hi,

Please test in $INFORMIXDIR/etc if exist .infos..... files and delete this.
Next run oncheck -pr|grep Flags, and look for "chunk is offline". If not then
run oninit. If you have "chunk is offline" please restore from archive/ontape.

Gustavo.

i have deleted all .infos... files

this is the result of oncheck -pr|grep Flags

Flags 0x1 No mirror chunks

Flags 0x1 No mirror chunks

Flags 0x40 Chunk is online

Flags 0x40 Chunk is online

Flags 0x40 Chunk is online

Flags 0x40 Chunk is online

Flags 0x40 Chunk is online

Flags 0x40 Chunk is online

Flags 0x40 Chunk is online

Flags 0x50 Mirror chunk

But oninit give the following errors :
Mismatch in configuration file : MIRRORPATH = /dev/online_root.m.

Root chunk was not mirrored.

Add mirroring using onspaces or onmonitor.

oninit: Fatal error in shared memory initialization

and the log file (online.log) contain these lines:

** Any ideas please

Hi,

Please test the following:

Run ipcs -m|grep informix. If exist, then run ipcrm -m SegID.
Run ipcs -s|grep informix. If exist, then run ipcrm -s SegID.
Run ipcs -q|grep informix. If exist, then run ipcrm -q SegID.
Next run oninit.

Gustavo.

Hi Gustavo

thanks for your help
No there are no process with ipcs for informix.
Should I restore from archive ?
Best regards,
