Martin,

Thanks for the information. We contacted IBM Informix support and
they pretty much noted the same. We checked a number of things and
everything looked fine - no errors in our logs and the restore log noted
that all spaces were restored with no errors. We made the call to refresh
the DR system at the AIX level and tried the restore again, and this time
it worked fine. Our system staff is now in the process of checking to see
what was done different between the two times they loaded the AIX level
software. We had a staff change in that area, so we are expecting that
something in the DR document was not followed.

Again, thank you for your response and have a good day!

Thanks!

something in the DR document was not followed.

Hi,


this should not happen.
 Temp dbspaces that existed BEFORE the =
archive was done
 should (automatically) be re-created =
during/after the restore.
 They are re-created and not restored =
(since they are not archived).


I admit that I didn't try out this =
scenario with a whole-system
 archive and restore in 7.3 for quite =
some time. I don't think
 that this is a known problem, at =
least I can't find any.


Any error message about these temp =
dbspaces in either online.log
 or in bar_act.log file ? There could =
be a hint as to why this happened ...


[ Path names must be exactly the same =
on system to be restored.
   Chunk files must exist prior =
to starting the restore, owner/group both
   "informix", access =
rights -rw-rw---- (660). I assume you've got these
   things right ... ]


In case all this doesn't help/work, =
more information is needed :
 - "onstat -d" output of =
archived system,
 - ls -l of chunks pathnames on =
restore system,
 - log files of the "critical =
times" during archive and restore,
 - exact version (oninit -V),
 - OS name / version.


Regards,
 Martin

We are testing our restore on our DR =
system. We use onbar and used onbar 
 -r
 -w for the restore option. When we =
try to bring the server online, it 
 errors
 out noting it can find the two =
dbspaces which are marked as temp. We know
 that temp dbspaces do not restore, =
the chunks were created on the DR 
 system,
 but for some reason the informix =
server is not seeing them. We have done
 this before and not had this issue. =



Any thoughts on why this might be =
occuring? We are going to recreate the
 chunks and see if that helps.


Thanks
