onstat error

Radhakrishnan Venkatara — Mon, 27 Oct 2003 22:36:29 GMT

Hi admins,

I am receiving error following error in informix.

informix> onstat -
/usr/lib/pa20_64/dld.sl: ELF version in '/usr/lib/pa20_64/libdl.1' is unknown. Killed

I could find anything wrong with this file.

file dld.sl
dld.sl: ELF-64 executable object file - PA-RISC 2.0 (LP64)
[ROOT ctss90]lib/pa20_64 # file libdl.1
libdl.1: ELF-64 shared object file - PA-RISC 2.0 (LP64)
[ROOT ctss90]lib/pa20_64 # ll libdl.1

OS I am running is HP-UX 11.00 64 bit version.
and CPU-binary is PA-RISC 2.0.

What could be the issue ?

Please throw some light.

Radhakrishnan

Hi Radhakrishnan,

Have you done a fresh installation of Informix on this server, or copied informix from someother server, or it was working and suddenly today you have started experiencing this problem.

Hi Rajeev,

It was working fine for all these days.

I am wondering if somehow the permission on these libraries have changed, or the directory specially libdl.1
or SHLIB parameter changed..

Hi,

I just realized that you command is

# onstat -

I thought if should be
# onstat -a

just an observation!

Hi,

I couldn't find any issues with the permission with the file.I compared the file with other system it looks ok.

Onstat - (will display following output)

informix> onstat -

Informix Dynamic Server Version 9.30.FC2XB -- On-Line -- Up 49 days 20:19:04 -- 1700472 Kbytes

How about if you copy the file from another system!
years ago, I use to support Informix 7.x running under 10.20, sometimes I had to shutdown and restart the databse. Also, the log files get full very fast which cause alot of problems. I'm sure the new version is better!

I can't do that it is production server.

What about the other onxxxx commands ?
Do they work ???

try an onmode -l (skip to next logical log).
This will do no harm on the production machine.

It reports the same error

Just in case this really is talking about libdl.1 and not the library it was trying to load:

This file (libdl.1) is not part of the informix distribution. It is part of the operating system.

Have you recently installed patch PHSS_19866 (which includes this file) or installed any other patch which overwrote this file?

Check your patches using
swlist -l fileset -a state | grep -v configured

The above mentioned patch was recently installed.

Re: onstat error

Radhakrishnan Venkatara — Tue, 28 Oct 2003 22:27:44 GMT

It is superseeded by another patch PHSS_24303
and I could both patches available in the system.

Hi there,
I have PHSS_22478 (which has LD_PRELOAD functionality)installed on my system and infomix on my server is working fine there is a superseeded PHSS_28869 which talks about critical fixes.
I guess that should fix the problem.
