Hi,

after I change the Client- and Server Versions
(2.2 to 2.9) and (7.2 to 10.0), I allways get the
messages "Class not registered", if I want to
start a stored procedure from VB by
using ADO.

Who can help me?

thanks

dbspaces design in SAN arrays

Hi everyone,
I used to work with servers with a bunch of disks connected to them, so it was relative easy to design dbspaces and tables fragmentation in that scene.

Is there any special consideration for dbspaces, chunks and tables fragmentation design in SAN environments with dozens or hundreds of disks inside of one array?

Thank you for your opinions!

Don't waste time doing anything more than rudimentary placement planning.
The level of indirection between the LUNs presented to your host and the
physical disks is so high as to make the exercise worthless.

When we were carving out our luns, we plaided them.
We made raid 10 across 6 disks, then stripped the logical volumes also.

Then, when we started carving out the luns, we realized that the first lun we made from each volume group, was the outer portion of the disk. The second lun was a little farther in and so on.
We decided that the disk would have faster access to the outer portions, so we put our busiest dbspaces in the first lun, and so on.

If you can, allocate different LUNs to each dbspace. Make sure you choose
an appropriate LUN RAID level, i.e. no RAID5. Each LUN can be configured
differently and moved around, so if you can keep to one dbspace per LUN and
you run into performance or storage issues, you can get that LUN reconfigured.

Use fragmentation as normal, even if you are not 100% sure about the
physical location of your data, it's also about allocating more CPU
resources. If you manage to saturate the SAN storage, then get your SAN
Administrator to reconfigure that LUN. ;-)

If you have enough invested in your SAN, you should also be able to play
with business continuity volume (BCV) snapshots using external backups. Who
doesn't like to see a several hundred Gb level 0 archive complete in a
couple of seconds? :-D

If you're talking about BCVs this implies you're using EMC Symmetrix. If
you have a Symmetrix you are *absolutely* wasting your time aligning LUNs
and dbspaces, for the reasons I gave earlier.

Is it only me who thinks this?! I keep reading people with expensive SANs
advocating orthodoxies from the days when you were lucky if you had two
disks (one of which was for the OS and swap anyway), and wonder if I'm
missing something ...

Well try it for yourself:

1. Get yourself a multi-processor box, with at least 4 CPUs.
2. Set up IDS with at least 3 CPU VPs.
3. Create a non-fragmented table and populate it with some data.
4. Run some benchmarks on it.
5. Now fragment the table across at least 3 dbspaces, all on the same disk,
logical or physical
6. Run the same benchmarks and compare times.

I don't understand what benchmarks for Informix fragmentation will tell me
about the allocation and positioning of LUNs on a SAN.

Nothing, but the question was about dbspaces, chunks & table fragmentation:

Small amendment:
Regarding the number of CPU VPs on a 4 CPU server:
with faster CPUs, it may be very advantageous to have 2 or 3 CPU VPs
per CPU that is to execute IDS. At least, that is my experience with
SPARCs running at >1 GHz (haven't tried slower SPARCs, except very old
ones). For more info, look at some posts to c.d.i related to the number
of CPU VPs for use with fast CPUs. I think Art Kagel provided clear
explanation why is it advantageous.

Informix 9.21 on Solaris 10
All 2 messages in topic - view as tree
From: e...@emike.org - view profile

Email: e...@emike.org

Hi! I'm running Informix 9.21UC4 on Solaris.
We've been running on Solaris 8 x84 for 5 years,
and are now testing on Solaris 10.

We are getting the following errors in online.log,
and the database stops accepting connections.

--------------------------------------------------
13:59:17 listener-thread: err = -27001: oserr = 0: errstr = : Read
error occurred during connection attempt.

13:59:18 listener: poll return with non T_LISTEN/T_DISCONNECT event

13:59:18 listener-thread: err = -25573: oserr = 9: errstr = : Network
driver cannot accept a connection on the port.
System error = 9.
13:59:19 listener: poll return with non T_LISTEN/T_DISCONNECT event
--------------------------------------------------

The second error (-25573) repeats every 5 seconds
until we restart informix.

There are no leftover files in /INFORMIXTMP.

We set NOFUZZYCKPT 1 in onconfig, but don't yet know
if that helps.

Any suggestions. We're using exactly the same
onconfig file when we went from Solaris 8 to 10.

Why aren't you upgrading to and IDS version that is supported on
Solaris 10? IDS 9.21 really shouldn't be in use - doubly not on
Solaris 10. If you can upgrade the o/s, surely you can also upgrade
IDS?

errno 9 == EBADF == Bad file descriptor.

Basically, for whatever reason, IDS is attempting to listen on a file
descriptor (socket) that is closed or otherwise unusable.

Your workarounds include upgrading IDS, making sure you're not usingv
IPv6 by accident, only supporting shared memory or IPC stream
connections.

Most unlikely to material.

Did you check over /etc/system?

IDS v7 on Itanic
All 6 messages in topic - view as tree

Date: Mon, Aug 14 2006 5:46 pm
Email: "Neil Truby"

According to the Availability spreadsheet on the informix.com website, IDS
v7 is not available onthe Itanium chip. Can anyone confirm this?

The website used to have a contact email address where someone knowledgable
about Informix - an American lady living in Basingstoke, as I recall - would
respond. That seems to have been replaced by the general IBM "Email Us"
form, with its specialist idea of what email is, and from which I have never
received a reply other than automated. Does anyone know what happened to
the specialist Informix email - or am I just not looking hard enough?

Come on guys, someone must know if IDS 7 is available on Itanium!!
btw I've filled in the "Email Us" form on the Informix home page and asked
the question on the resultant form (not email at all). I await the result
with interest ...

I know that it IS available on HPUX/Itanium. Otherwise...

Come on Neil, you should have contact in IBM.

I could ask Andy, David. And in fact Marco Greco has already told me the
answer.
But the fact is I shouldn't have to use my contacts. Just like the average
Joe would have done I asked the question via the "Email Us" link on the
Informix home page. Well, you'll be amazed to hear that, 24 hours later,
I'm still waiting .....!

Well I haven't had a reply from the Informix page "Email Us" *as yet*, but

Thanx for all your help....

I would like to run an SQL query on the sysmaster databases..... to get
the number of sessions actively running a query.... we have many users
that may be connected but not necessarily doing anything....

Also, "onstat -u|grep active" gives the number of users connected to
the database not necessarily the sessions that are actively running a
sql command or waiting for a lock/buffer etc.....

Thank you,

Dave

on IDS 9.40 the following will give you users that are running
"things" but this is not using the SMI tables in a query.

onstat -g sql |grep -v "-"

Users that are idle at the second of the check would have a "-" in the
second column of the "onstat -g sql"

What about this -

select CURRENT YEAR TO SECOND,
sqx_sessionid,username,sd.odb_dbname,sqx_seqscan,sqx_sqlstatement
from syssqexplain sq, sysscblst sc , sysopendb sd
where sq.sqx_sessionid = sc.sid
and sc.sid = sd.odb_sessionid
and sd.odb_dbname <> 'sysmaster'
and length(sqx_sqlstatement) > 0
and sqx_sqlstatement not like "%tabid = 1%"

Have fun.

May be this query can help you
It shows sessions that are not waiting for condition

select s.sid
from sysscblst s, sysrstcb r, systcblst t
where s.sid = r.sid and t.address=r.mttcb
and wtcondp = 0

Hello:
I have a problem when in my IDS 9.40 in Linux System 32 Bytes have more
than 1100 conexions.
Which is the max conexions for IDS? There are any parameter in the
Operatym System for more conexions or only it's a limit of Informix?
Thank you

in general there is no "limit" on the number of informix users

it is more likely you have hit some resource limit

what error message occurs? what behaviour are you experiencing

What is your problem? (What makes you think you have a problem, and how
does it show itself?)

What are the NETTYPE settings in your onconfig?

Hi,

the only place where IDS actually enforces number of connections
is via the NETTYPE parameter in onconfig file. Please see the
manual for more information on this (or past e-mails in this list ... :)

However there are other possible reason for a restriction:

- number of open files when soctcp connection protocol is used,
because for each socket connection a file descriptor is needed.
This usually is an OS parameter.

- SHM (segment) limitations when ipcshm protocol is used.
Each SHM connection needs some SHM in the "message segment(s)".
If running out of SHM it will impose a limit.

That's what currently comes to my mind.
The actual error and circumstances may reveal more insight.

Regards,
Martin

I have defined shm and tcp, for shm run ok, but for tcp not ok.
I don't know the ifx error because I can't reproduce it.
The users say me than the error is 'can not open more files' more or
less.
I don't know if the problem is for the system can't allocate more
socket, or if the problem is for any parameter del /proc (max-file...)

How about looking at the log file, or onstat -m?

On Linux you can see this value with "/sbin/sysctl fs.file-max", it is
unlikely to be the issue on a 2.6.x kernel as the default is very high.
Perhaps you can ulimits applied to the Informix user?

Same, like the above "/sbin/sysctl kernel.shmmax". But my guess is
NETTYPE values need to be increased.

Hi,

you may see some errors in the online.log (message) file of the server.

If users already "point to" 'can not open more files' and as it is with
sockets/tcp protocol only, I'd definitely look in that area (i.e.
respective
UNIX kernel parameters) ...

Regards,
Martin

Hi,

You all want to see Informix in the press, so help IIUG achieving this goal by
sending the following information to me:

Name of journalist,
e-mail,
name of newspaper.

Thanks

I'm not sure what you want; make your selection from the following list:

1. Informix is in the press and you want to know who wrote the article
and where;
2. Request a specific journalist write an article about Informix in a
particular paper.

I'm curious that you don't know who to contact. Any good computer magazine will
do, simply contact their editor. Or write the article yourself and submit it.

I'm also curious that you would be doing the work that IBM, and the work that
Informix people at IBM should be doing. Of course it would be a shocker that
those lazy lumps of shit would do anything to promote the product. That would
be a news story by itself.

Hi,

You're completely wrong.

IIUG has started a communications program and we send our Press Releases to
the press. By "our press releases", I mean "our press releases", not the
ones from IBM, not the ones from our sponsors, not the ones from Oracle.

IIUG is doing some communications to enhance its visibility in the Informix
world and among the Informix users. Nothing else.

Now, I need contacts, of course, I could send it blindly to any editor of
any news paper. Sure, the Tampa Gazette or whatever will be very thankful to
me to send Informix news.

I need contacts within the IT press. As I live in France, I did the work of
digging for journalists here and found quite a few of them. Now, I also read
some of the foreign press, but surely not the UK press or the German
press... I have friends in Taiwan and I know nothing about their editors.

I was hoping that this community could help me build a bigger network to
help promote our organization.

That's why I need:

> > Name of journalist,
> > e-mail,
> > name of newspaper.

(and basically, in the context of this program, I don't care what IBM is
doing).

Any help would be great.

Thanks.

Thanks, the idea is to build a full press room for IIUG, we need more
(specifically the logos are not great and we need other graphical items),
but we are working on it to make the world better :)...

Not sure why iiug board members in the states can't do this if they are
sincerely interested in marketing/promoting informix. But all they would
have to do is pick up a magazine and flip through the pages to find out who
to contact.....not rocket science here....

CIO Magazine:
Technology contacts Christopher Lindquist, clindqu...@cio.com
Thomas Wailgum, twail...@cio.com
!!! Other contacts that may be interested in Oracle/Peoplesoft supporting
IDS Vers 10 for tools release 8.49 !!!
Christopher Koch, c...@cio.com
Ben Worthen, bwort...@cio.com

ComputerWorld Eric Lai (425)367-4359

If I see another IT type magazine laying around I'll let you know.
However, all I ask is a regular report on what efforts you or other iiug
board members are making/taking with this type of info.

Excellent!

Now, how about taking the 90-day timeout feature out of the download for
Informix. I'm excited about Informix, interested in the product, so I go
to download it like DB2.

I noticed DB2 does not have the 90-day timeout. I want the full download
for Informix just like DB2, no timeout, same thing as if I bought it. Do
I have the IIUG to thank for the 90-day timeout?

My understanding is the opposite: about a year ago the IIUG and IBM withdrew
free downloads for IDS because they *didn't* have the 90-day bomb which is
standard for products emenating from IBM. They understandably didn;t want
to retro-fit the bomb to old realeases but did include it in later 9.40, and
10 developments and reinstated the trial versions.

If you're saying that DB2 has had the bomb removed - that's news to me!

DB2 never had the bomb.

IIUG still offers 9.3/9.4 on Linux / Windows.

Are you sure?
The IDS trial download disappeared without explanation from IBM site, and
Stuart Litel was asked to do the same for the ones on the IIUG site.
When pressed the explanation was that they didn;t contain the 90-day bomb
and was thus not consistent with DB2.

DB2 always had a message pop up every time you started DB2, counting the
days down from 90. Now, no DB2 build I work with in the lab ever lasts
90 days, so I don't know whether DB2 simply stops working or just keeps
nagging after 90 days.

I altered my DB2 pop-up message to say:

"I hate DB2"

DB2 always had a message pop up every time you started DB2, counting the
days down from 90. Now, no DB2 build I work with in the lab ever lasts
90 days, so I don't know whether DB2 simply stops working or just keeps
nagging after 90 days.

I know. I just "admitted" that my DB2 uptime is < 90 days ;-)
But IDS wouldn't help me. My Windows uptime is so much shorter.
