Level-0 restore and sysmaster problem

[AttilaDan]

I'm building a cloned HPUX 11 & IDS 7.2 machine. I can initialize the database and bring it online with no problems. When I restore from a level-0 archive (using ontape) there is a problem converting the sysmaster database. Everything is fine in quiesent mode, but switching to online mode produces the following log entries:

16:00:38 Quiescent Mode
16:00:38 Checkpoint Completed: duration was 0 seconds. 16:00:46 On-Line Mode

Running oncheck -pt 1049336 returns:

$ oncheck -pt 1049336
TBLspace Report for sysmaster:informix.arc_file
Error opening TBLspace arc_file_copy.


And the /tmp/buildsmi.2153 file reads:

Thinking it was a corrupt archive, I've tried several more with the same results. I'm on a tight deadline and have been hungup at this point for 2 days now trying to solve it. HELP!

I found the problem - an old version tape in the new version case. I've now installed the correct IDS and everything works.
