IT30404: SERVER MAY TAKE A LONG TIME TO START WHEN THERE ARE MANY CHUNKS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The Informix server may take a long time to start on Unix /
  Linux OS platforms when the instance has many hundreds of
  chunks. When started with the command oninit -v the delay will
  be seen at the message "Opening primary chunks ..." In the
  message log the time delay will be evident between these
  messages:
  
  15:52:41  IBM Informix Dynamic Server Version 12.10.FC12W1
  Software Serial Number AAA#B000000
  16:01:36  IBM Informix Dynamic Server Initialized -- Shared
  Memory Initialized.
  
  Depending on the type of chunk used, for example cooked file or
  raw disk volume, the delay may extend to several minutes.
  Certain OS platform versions, such as Solaris 11, may also have
  other factors which contribute to this startup delay.
