I am trying to install XPS 821.UD3 on the following box # uname -a SunOS y2ksnd6 5.5.1 Generic_103640-24 sun4m sparc SUNW,SPARCstation-20 When i ran ./installonline it gave me following error Installing directory . Installing directory bin etc/install: etc/brand: cannot execute Installation of Informix Dynamic Server with the Advanced Decision Support Option failed. Aborting installation. Please resolve issues listed above and rerun the installation script. I tried following 1. I did setup the INFORMIXDIR and PATH when i execute the script from root id 2. I tried all kernel parameters (mentioned in release notes) but no help 3. I tried on the same H/W configuration (different box) but no help. I never faced any problem at this step so far my work with Informix. I guess either it does not like the H/W configuration or something i am missing I will appreciate the attention for the same.

You could have Online for Solaris 2.5.1 INTEL instead of SPARC!! ^^^^^ ^^^^^ Solaris supports two different CPU types! (Guess who once flew several hundred miles, arrived on site and found this out the hard way..). PS I'm back!!! Net connected again at last...expect FAQ updates soon... -- David Williams
