  • 1.  Informix 11.50 system requirements

    Posted Mon June 29, 2020 10:01 PM
    Hi,
    My customer plans to migrate Informix 11.50.FC7W3 on HP-UX to the same Informix version on AIX.
    My customer doesn't want to upgrade Informix.
    Can I install 11.50.FC7W3 on AIX 7.1?

    Thanks,

    SanGyu:

    You know that 11.50 is out-of-support, so you might give it a try if you happen to have the install files for AIX. That release was probably built for AIX v5 or v6 so it was never supported on v7.1 is my guess. It may work. It may not.

    Thanks you Art,
    In the machine notes for Informix 11.50.xC8, AIX 7.1 is mentioned.
    https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSGU8G_11.50.0/com.ibm.relnotes.doc/ifx_1150xc8/mach/ids_machine_notes_11.50.aix64.html
    So, I would like to advise my customer to install 11.50.FC8 or higher.

    Hi Art,

    I have same kind of requirement. Planning to move exiting "informix 11.50.FC8GE" version from HP-UX to RedHat. I could not find release notes document for the IDS 11.50. So could you please help me to find compatible RedHat version for the "informix 11.50.FC8GE" ?

    Chanaka:

    As I told SanGyu, v11.50 has been out-of-support for more than a decade. You are unlikely to find anyone who has a copy of the install files from that period and if you did, it is unlikely that it would work properly with any current RHEL release.

    You are going to have to upgrade to a currently supported release which would be either 12.10 or 14.10 (note that v12.10 is likely to go out-of-support in 2024).

    Try it and run some tests but you will have zero support from IBM

    Cheers

    Thank you Paul. Of course, the customer and I know that this version of Informix is not supported by IBM.
