Informix shutdown and startup script for RHEL cluster suite

Good day. Can you give us a sample shutdown and start up script for Informix database that is running on a RHEL 4 cluster suite so that if one node fails, the informix database will start automatically on the other node during failover.

oninit starts informix
onmode -kui halts after comiting transaction

informix does transaction replication which is by a grade smarter than "RHEL start automatically"

Hi,

It will help, but I'm looking for the startup script in which the other node will automatically starts the informix database. Either graceful shutdown or transferring the Cluster Suite services

Thanks in advance
Informix is pretty much self-contained.

http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg247488.html?Open

It moved tape libraries and clustered years before mainstream systems got close to that.

Facilities vary between inetd-launched SE, multithreaded IDS and distributed RedBrick.

Let me suggest it co-exists pretty well with whatever cluster software you ever install, but will survive without it
what i'm looking is a script that will start informix automatically on other node when you transfer the service.
This is the senario,
 -transfer the cluster service (for ex. INFORMIX) using "clusvcadm" to other node.
 -Once the INFORMIX service was transferred to the other node the Informix database will automatically start.
It seems you do not get idea from Informix documentation.
Do you have shared storage? Shared IP address? It is different command lines to oninit and onmode. I cannot guess your Informix and cluster setup,
yes it has shared storage and IP address
