Elisabeth,
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).
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).
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.
The test server will be VM (VMware) or a Solaris zone.
We are using VNX SAN disks. I can use Solaris T2000 or T4, or HP device for
VM.
well, for sun4v solaris would be the only choice.
Cordialement, Regards,Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

What else is in use at your site? Are you for-profit? How important is cost
vs support availability? What hardware do you have?
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.
