[HPADM] HP-UX 9.04/Informix legacy system - 'logical log files are full'

Hi Admins,

We've got an old, inherited, unsupported HP-UX 9.04 legacy data system running on an HP 800/H70 from a closed site running a Product Database Management application called 'MTMS'. It's only used for viewing legacy data as far as I'm aware. All the admins that used to run this system have long since been laid off, so any help gratefully received!

It appears to be running an Informix database and was reporting that the /usr file system was full. I've been onto the system and copied out and cleared down some large log files in that partition and it's back available again.

One of the log files I've cleared down was /usr/informix/online.log. This increases every five seconds with a line that reads 'Logical Log Files are Full - - Backup is Needed' and of course will fill up the /usr partition again before too long.

Can anyone assist with how to fix the message? I would guess I'm looking for some logs to copy off and clear down, but as the system is unsupported and we don't have any HP-UX 9 media I'm reluctant to do anything without some advice!

TIA, I will summarise,

Scott
