VERSION UPGRADE CAN FAIL WITH NO CLUE AS TO WHAT'S WRONG
|
| product: |
INFORMIX SERVER / 5725A3900 / E10 - |
| Problem description: |
An upgrade from older version to e.g. version 14.10 can fail
early on without any information what's wrong:
09:20:40 IBM Informix Dynamic Server Version
09:20:46 Conversion from version Started
09:20:56 Checking partition header pages for needed free space
09:20:56 Checking for free space in partition header pages
succeeded
09:20:59 A restore point was created and data is being stored
in directory /.
09:20:59 Conversion control block initialization
09:20:59 Succeeded
09:20:59 Initialization of Conversion Session
09:20:59 The restore point ended and related data in directory
/ were removed.
09:20:59
09:20:59 Conversion failed.
09:20:59 FAILED
09:20:59 Restart conversion after fixing the problem.
09:20:59 oninit: Fatal error in shared memory initialization
With this precise scenario, there are two possible reasons for
this failure:
- the physical log not being logically empty (left over from
shutdown)
- at least one logical log before the current one not flagged
as backed up ('B') |
