Only guessing here:
Is this a new database instance? Did you initialize the shared memory before you tried to start it?
Are you logged on as root or informix?
Is there any error number with the message? Sometimes it's hard to tell when the message is a Unix error or an Informix error.
Sorry I can't be more helpful but I've never seen this message.

Hi,
I found the solution. To answer the above: there is only one instance, user was informix, the engine had problems coming up after a restore.
I did an onmode -ky to bring it down. Then did an onint -r to be bring the server to recovery mode, checked onstat -d to see what flags my dbs and chunks were in, found I needed to do an ontape -n, saw the status of the chunks improve, last I was able to the an onmode -m to bring the server up online.
