<font size=2 face="sans-serif">Elisabeth,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I'm currently using XYMON 4.3.0.0
beta without any problem . The server is running under a Solaris
10 zone and have about 600 agents (a mix of Windows -BBWIN-, Linux, AIX
and Solaris).</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I want to install a new XYMON server
(version 4.3.7) in order to validate a new architecture with more agents
(at least 1000 and up to 6000), devmon module and xymonproxy (to make communicate
diff. networks easily).</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I can bear on both Solaris and Linux
experts (they say, use Ubuntu or CentOS). But they are discovering the
new Solaris 11 that seems to be a different OS than previous versions.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The test server will be VM (VMware)
or a Solaris zone. </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">We are using VNX SAN disks. I can use
Solaris T2000 or T4, or HP device for VM.</font>
<br>

<br><font size=3>What else is in use at your site? Are you for-profit?
How important is cost vs support availability? What hardware do you
have?<br>
<br>
I'm a huge believer in keeping the number of operating systems low. You
can leverage local expertise and local config management systems and repositories.

This isn't the place to talk about what Oracle's done to Solaris so I'll
just say there doesn't seem to be any technical reason to want to run Solaris
for xymon. Most FOSS is developed under Linux these days which means that
most tools install more seamlessly on Linux. I'd consider using Solaris
for a Xymon server only if you've got a primarily-Solaris shop to begin
with. </font><tt><font size=2>_______________________________________________<br>
