Re: Cross-host restore problem

Posted By: Martin Fuerderer

In Response To: Cross-host restore problem (Hubbard, John)

Hi,

you need to check that:
- your devices are accessible for user informix.
actually they should be owned by user informix, group informix,
access right 660 ("ls -l" should show "-rw-rw----").
- you can check this using the "dd" system utility as user informix
to see whether the device is writable. Use a command like
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/lims/rootdbs bs=2048 count=10
(assuming you've a system with 2kB page size).
If this produces any error, then you need to fix the problem
before further attempting to restore.
- IDS is installed properly and the executable binaries have
the proper owner, group and access rights.
This usually is done by running the "installserver" script
followed by the "RUN_AS_ROOT.server" script.
In your case especially the ON-Bar binary should be like this :
-rwsr-sr-x ... root informix ... $INFORMIXDIR/bin/onbar_d

Regards,
Martin
