Question

High availability replication (HDR) requires a trust relationship for user informix between the machines in the HDR pair. Is there an alternative to using hosts.equiv for establishing the trust?

Answer

You can use the .netrc file to establish trust between computers. Locate the file in the informix user home directory on both machines. It should have a line like the following:

    machine machine_name login informix password informix_password 
      machine_name 
      the name of the remote machine in the HDR pair. 

      informix_password 
      the password for user informix on the remote machine.


Caution: Be sure to set appropriate permissions on the .netrc file to protect the password.
