 IDS 7.31.uc6
 AIX 4.3.3
 When trying to install the Informix storage manager
 (ISM) by running
 $INFORMIXDIR/bin/ism_startup -init
 I receive 2 core dumps.
 The  output is
 start_sm: is starting the ISM daemons.
 start_ism[35]: 27130 Segmentation fault(coredump)
 start_ism[36]: 27132 Segmentation fault(coredump)
 ${0##*/}: Still waiting for ISM daemons to become
 available...
 ${0##*/}: Still waiting for ISM daemons to become
 available...
 start_ism: ISM server not running after 2 minutes
 and 30 seconds.

Script is core - ing out when running
$INFORMIXDIR/bin/nsrexecd
$INFORMIXDIR/bin/nsrd

 resolve it?

 Thanks for your help!

You may need to log a call with Informix Tech Support or examine the
contents of the ISM logs ...
        bar_act.log             under $INFORMXIDIR
        xbsa.messages   under /nsr

In our case - slightly different to yours - there was a corruption in the
ISM database for which we needed to rename a directory before starting.

I believe you still get free tech support for installation problems.

1. ISM_Startup errors IDS 7.31 on AIX - SOLUTION

Brice and Murray thanks for the suggestions!
However
IBM (Informix)does not consider ISM installation problems part of the
core product so no free tech support there.
However I had much joy at the Legato Tech Dialog site
http://web1.legato.com/tech_dialog/main_lefaq.html
 where I discovered a bug
Title:  AIX/NetWorker 5.5 - Core dump running nsrexecd; Set nofiles to
default
2000

Description:

Attempting to start NetWorker daemons on an AIX client fails with a
core dump.

ANALYSIS:

NetWorker server for NT 5.5.1
NetWorker client for AIX 5.5.1
Windows NT 4.0
AIX 4.3.1

After installing an AIX 4.3.1 patch, starting the NetWorker daemons
fails with a
core dump. There are no other error messages.

Checked the client index with nsrck -F, and they appear to be okay.

Checked the system parameter set up. The soft file descriptor is set
to -1,
which means no limit. This setting is causing NetWorker to core dump.

SOLUTION:

Change the nofiles parameter back to the default of 2000.

1)  Edit /etc/security/limit
2)  Modify the nofiles parameter
3)  Restart the NetWorker daemons

Created: 9/28/1999
HH/nka
Last Update:
__ End of Legato

The file is actually /etc/security/limits
and even though the text says aix client it also manifests itself in
an AIX server environment.

Thanks again!
David
