Umm... that output suggests that you have defined two instances: 'S1' and 'S2'. Check what you have in the /data/informix/etc directory (sqlhosts entries, onconfig files) - jsagrera

A significant portion of the information used by onstat -g dis (server discovery) comes from the /INFORMIXTMP directory, which contains a number of 'hidden' files with names that start with a .. In particular, the file .infxdirs identifies directories which have, at some time or another, been used as $INFORMIXDIR for a server. The discovery process looks for those directories, and in particular for the etc subdirectory, and can then track information about the servers from files in there. In particular, for a server demoserver01, it will look for the files .conf.demoserver01 and .infos.demoserver01. The presence of the .infos file indicates that the server is (probably) running; the .conf file indicates that the server exists, or once existed.

If you look in your /INFORMIXTMP/.infxdirs file, you'll find at least /data/informix listed. If you look in /data/informix/etc, you should find both .conf.S1 and .conf.S2 files in there. You will presumably only find .infos.S1 since that it is the running server.
