Hello all, I downloaded the 'Solaris 32 bit - iif.11.50.UC1DE.SOL-9.tar' file from the IIUG website for testing. I installed it on a x86 Intel Dell machine that is running Solaris 10 for x86, however when I try to launch onmonitor, dbaccess or any other IDS programs I get an "Invalid argument" error. Is the 'Solaris 32 bit - iif.11.50.UC1DE.SOL-9.tar' file intended for installation only on a SPARC machine? If so is there an installer for x86 Solaris? Can the IDS source be obtained and compiled locally? If not a compatibility issue, any ideas on what else the error might be? I appreciate any help you can provide. Thanks. Peter A.

Start off here, which holds some nice information. http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/blogs/page/gbowerman?entry=ids_virtual_appliance_upgrade
