During system reboot or engine bounce of both HDR pair (Primary and Secondary) one can encounter sms_connect failure resulting in Primary server being blocked and must be bounced before a new restore from a backup is to work to re-establish HDR. This is only reproduced if INFORMIXCONTIME is set to 1 and INFORMIXCONRETRY set to 0. This does not reproduce in 12.10.FC3 and was observed after upgrade to 12.10.FC5. 09:14:32 smx creates 1 transports to server 09:14:34 smx failure smx_connect failed rc = -1 09:14:34 rolling upgrade version mismatch 09:14:34 smx creates 1 transports to server 09:14:35 smx failure smx_connect failed rc = -1 09:14:35 DR: Primary server connected | |
