Error description
When cloning an Informix server using ifxclone with a command similar to that documented (as below), the clone operation completes but the new instance fails to start with an error message indicating a duplicate VPCLASS. ifxclone -T -L -S Source_name -I Source_IP-P 3000 -t TargetName-i Target_IP -p 3000 -s large Normally, ifxclone would add any necessary, new ONCONFIG parameters and comment out old. However, the Informix configuration file is updated with: ############################## # Message 84325 not found. ############################## # Message 84325 not found. # Message 84216 not found. By commenting out VPCLASS cpu lines in target onconfig the ifxclone worked. The problem also manifests itself when errors are encountered with the ifxclone command: $ ifxclone -T -L -S source_ids -I 9.69.1.20 -P 1526 -t target_clone -i 9.19.1.21 -p 1527 -s large > Message 84231 not found. On a working system we see these messages as: $ infxmsg 84325 Removed by ifxclone - $ infxmsg 84216 Added by ifxclone - The issue is a missing dependency, the message file $INFORMIXDIR/msg/en_us/0333/cdrcli.iem, which is not installed if you deselected Enterprise Replication during a custom install. You do not see the problem if you have performed a standard (complete) install. i.e. ENTER A COMMA_SEPARATED LIST OF NUMBERS REPRESENTING THE FEATURES YOU WOULD LIKE TO SELECT, OR DESELECT. TO VIEW A FEATURE'S DESCRIPTION, ENTER '?<NUMBER>'. PRESS <RETURN> WHEN YOU ARE DONE: 1- [X] IBM Informix database server 2- |-[X] Base Server 3- |-[X] Extensions and tools 4- |-[X] J/Foundation 5- |-[X] Database extensions 6- |-[X] Conversion and reversion support 7- |-[X] XML publishing 8- |-[X] Demonstration database scripts 9- |-[ ] Enterprise Replication 10- |-[X] Data loading utilities 11- |-[X] onunload and onload utilities ...
Local fix
The workaround is to re-install the complete product set.
