There are annoying things such as documentation that says "for NT do this...
and for unix, do this..." and you find that the "unix" instructions are
specific to AIX and need to be adjusted for Solaris. But so far I haven't
found anything serious enough to make me want to switch to AIX.
Given that you have Solaris expertise and not much AIX expertise, and all
other things being equal, my personal opinion is go for Solaris.
I should point out though, I'm biased because I have no AIX experience
whatsoever. I'm also very new to TSM.
