And I'll speak from personal experience, and when a UNIX guru of my caliber (about .204) speaks, one should listen: when you have device driver issues on Solaris, you are pretty much completely on your own. Finding the one guy in TSM support land that knows Solaris and the vagaries of Qlogic branded or Sun branded Qlogic or, or, or, is no end of fun.
I worked with a customer for about three weeks (literally) to get this working. And still today, we struggle occasionally. So to me it's either AIX or Windows (yes, you can do a lot of TSM on Windows once you get past the bigotry!). Choose whichever one you have the most experience with.
