Re: Installing IDS 11.5 on Solaris x86

2008/12/8 Parker, Peter A Mr CTR USA USAMEDCOM <peter.a.parker@us.army.mil>: > 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?

You need 64 bit hardware and the right download. Keith
