-> My customer is on 7.2x on HP-UX 10.20.
-> Informix support patched one of his chinks better a couple
-> of months ago.
-> Now (and probably then) he is getting page errors:
->
-> Noticed assert failure af.5008e6dc which advised oncheck -cDI 8394250
-> Dropped index tfgld1061001abaan
-> Ran create unique index "baan".tfgld1061001abaanon
-> "baan".ttfgld106100
-> (hash1)
-> Process halted with 25580:System erroroccurred in network
-> function, invalid
-> arguement
-> Ran oncheck cDI 8394250 - It reported bad page, pg-stamp 155ccd15 !=
-> PG_STAMP2 0
-> Ran onckeck -cD 8394250 - It reported bad page 33a155f:
-> pg_stamp 358403349
-> != PG_STAMP2 0
->
-> He's keen to try and do an ASCII unload, but I think it will
-> fail with the
-> same thing. I'd like to get a copy of his database to work
-> on, but we have
-> no HP-UX 10.20 servers. He doesn't have enough disk space to
-> onunlaod/onload the file to that server.
->
-> Any other ideas for helping him out? IBM tech Support won;t
-> touch it - the
-> version is too old.
->
-> thanks
