I'm currently working with a DBA to perform restoration testing but
while keep hitting into the errors below. Can someone help to decipher
what the hecks is all this about??? and any resolution to it.

Thanks :)

your oninit isn't owned by root:informix permissions 6754, which in layman
terms means that you have not installed the engine following the helpful
advice of the installation guide.
Is it fair to say that you just some sort of file system restore of your
$INFORMIXDIR?

Thanks man. I will check on that.
This system actually is able to be backup successfully via NetBackup.
However, when we tried to do some testing on restoration. This error
just refused to go away...
I'm actually the backup and restore guy, not the DBA... So any
suggestion, idea, resolution,etc... is greatly appreciated :)

By the way, we did not restore the $INFORMIXDIR, we simply run onbar -
r -p -t "date & time"....

As Marco said: (and the online.log btw....)

ls -l `which oninit ` should give:

-rwsr-sr-- 1 root informix 13193542 Feb 7 2007 /opt/informix/bin/
oninit

if that is not what you see then correct it.

eq as root:

chmod 6754 /opt/informix/bin/oninit; chown root:informix /opt/
informix/bin/oninit

some others hmmm this is V 10....:
