Theresa,
Speaking from my own experience, I don't see a real difference between AIX and Solaris when it comes to rebooting. I'm workgin in a mixed environment of HPUX, AIX, Linux and Solaris and don't see any OS which requires many reboots. It may be your bias that's making it seem that way. I know I thought I saw it when I went from an all HP shop to this one...
I know for a fact that Sun hardware is much cheaper than comparable IBM equipment.
Hope this helps...

Hi All;
My company is an AIX shop; however, SUN has a Solaris 9 lab setup in an attempt to [try to] sell us some hardware...the one thing I've noticed is that there is an awful lot of reboots required for Solaris (in comparison to AIX)...does anyone know off the top of their head what all requires reboots on SUN?
It also appears (as an outsider looking in) that the amount of sys_admin_time on Solaris would be greatly increased. Is this an accurate presumption or is my *bias* overpowering my vision! :)
Thanks for your info!
Theresa
