My colleague accidentally initialized the disk using oninit -i on our Standby server (IDS 7.3 on SCO Unix 5.05). The chunks (ie raw devices) are still there so we just recreated the dbspaces and added these chunks exactly as the Live one. We tried to do a full system restore on this server using a backup from the LIve one but it keeps failing everytime. The error is as follows (during an ontape -r) after answering the question if I want to backup the logs:
Physical restore failed - function read archive backup failed code -2 errno 0
Now we've checked everyhting: permissions (660), using user Informix, same onconfig on both machines, etc.
Can anyone help?
P.S. Do you need to update the Reserved Pages on the Standby server after you add dbspaces (ie similar to adding new logs) and do an ontape pointing to /dev/null? We haven't done this yet. (ie the server is empty, right? and the backup is from a different machine)
