RE: Informix will not start

Posted By: Jarrod Teale
Date: Thursday, 22 January 2009, at 3:33 p.m.

In Response To: RE: Informix will not start (Jarrod Teale)

I suspect that they shouldn't have the execute bit set.
Permissions should be 660.
Also the symbolic link isn't owned by informix, so informix can't follow
it to write to the device?

I would:
chmod 777 /opt/informix/dev/dbs0.2
chmod 660 /dev/vg01/rlvol13

Is the volume group okay? I aren't familiar with HPUX volume groups, but
on my systems I would make sure that the volume, logical and physical
volumes are all okay as well.

And try to start again and see if the chuck passes it check.

Jarrod,

They're there:

ls -la /opt/informix/dev/dbs0.2
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root common 17 Jan 17 12:24
/opt/informix/dev/dbs0.2@ -> /dev/vg01/rlvol13

ls -la /dev/vg01/rlvol13
crwxrwx--- 1 informix informix 64 0x01000d Jan 17 14:14
/dev/vg01/rlvol13*

No SAN involved.
