Restore IDS 9.40 archive to different version of S

Hi all. We have two 9.40.UC2 systems on Solaris 9 (Sun-2900 server) and Solaris 8 (sun-3500 server) Since the mainboard of the 2900 server went down and it will take some time to have the new board, we have to make our old Solaris 8 system online. Is it possible to restore the archive taken from Solaris 9 system to Solaris 8 system by using chunk renaming etc..? (Or maybe boot the Solaris 9 disk on Sun-3500 server??) Thanks, best regards.

(Or maybe boot the Solaris 9 disk on Sun-3500 server??) Given the same binaries on both, then you should be OK. If you were trying to change versions, you'd be on thin ice; if you were trying to change hardware (to PPC or IA32, for example), you'd not even be in the running. I am assuming both machines are Sparc - if one is Intel, you have problems. -- Jonathan Leffler #include <disclaimer.h> Email: jleffler@earthlink.net, jleffler@us.ibm.com Guardian of DBD::Informix v2005.02 -- http://dbi.perl.org/
