Re: Server won't start

Hi,

When we did the failover from NODE-A to NODE-B, the files under
/INFORMIXTMP with the instance name did not get deleted for somereason.
Tech. asked me to delete those files manually and server was back online. He
got the clue when I said that we changed the name of the instance and
everything was fine.

Now I have modified failover script to take care of this problem.

Thanks guys for giving your valuable suggestions.


Regards
Sushil....
