Solaris. Veritas supports both, but you do have to look carefully at
which options are supported on which platform.
RHEL is fairly new to Veritas and I would expect that long-term, Solaris
won't be as popular and Linux will take over (so says the man with the
RHCE!) but for now, I think Veritas still develops and tests on Solaris
first and then ports & validates it all on other Unixes.
Our main environment is on Solaris but we do have a smaller satellite
office with a RHEL master (there's no other Unix at that site). It just
went into production so I don't have much experience with it for the
gotchas yet. We do know that tuning information seems to be bit harder
to locate than for Solaris. I think that will be expected for a while yet.
