Replication issues

Posted By: Schleicher, Keith
Date: Friday, 25 January 2013, at 8:30 p.m.

I have two separate servers with two similar but separate issues. Both involve Secondary servers in a DR setup. Both are due to a power outage that caused these servers to power down without Informix being shut down.
For the first server, here is the error log:
16:19:21 Event alarms enabled. ALARMPROG = '/ifmx/ifmx00175/etc/log_full.sh'

I tried to run 'oncheck -cI campaign:"dbaparts".camptss_ses,' but it tells me that I can't run it because I don't own that table. The chunk that is down includes all of the indexes for this instance. Is it possible to drop the chunk, recreate the chunk, and then recreate the indexes, or will we need to restore the data from a backup?

The chunk that is down does contain data. Is there any way of avoiding restoring the entire database to this server, or can we follow some other steps?
Both are running Informix 10.00.UC6 on Sun Solaris 10.
