As long as the onconfig files and links to the devices match and the IDS versions are identical (same version, same OS), you should be able to do what you want to accomplish. Other than that, your sqlhosts file on the second machine must have the same IDS server names in it as the first, except that the second one should point its info to the second server instead of the first:

On the first box:

My_server_shared_mem onipcshm server1 fake_service
My_server_ip onsoctcp server1 sqlexec (or whatever your IDS service is called)

Box 2:
My_server_shared_mem onipcshm server2 fake_service
My_server_ip onsoctcp server2 sqlexec (or whatever your IDS service is called)

It looks like you have already got part of this done since oncheck works. What happens when you execute oninit on the second box?
