It's because ISAM files are not binary-compatible on different
architectures. You cannot just copy ISM file from x86 Linux to
Sparc Solaris.
MyISAM format is binary-compatible, though.
So, you have to handle you ISM files on Sparc -
either convert them to MyISAM, or dump with mysqldump
(the latter can be done over network too).
