Informix Virtual Appliance
I notice that the Informix Virtual Appliance comes with a couple of DataBlades. Is it possible to create and install others into the virtual appliance?
Oh yes, you can install
Oh yes,
you can install and/or create any kind of IDS 11.5 compatible DataBlade within the appliance. All the necessary components to a create a DataBlade from scratch are in place. If you would like to install an existing one, just make sure it runs on Linux/Intel 32-bit. :-)
