CiscoWorks is not on the price list anymore, so I'll talk about CW2000
instead.
Available on AIX (and HP-UX) is only a subset of the LAN Management Solution
Bundle called Campus bundle.
The products in Campus bundle are: Cisco Management Foundation (CMF,
includes e.g. Apache), Resource Manager (RM), Campus Manager (CM), CiscoView
(CV) and Traffic Director (TD).
All other Cisco management products will only be available on Solaris and
NT.
The Campus bundle for AIX and HP-UX are typically released 3 to 6 month
after NT and Solaris.
In order to decide which platform you should run CW2000 look at the
functionality and products you'll need and consider that CW2000 is not
integrated with NetView or NNM the way you are used to from CW 4 (via ARF),
but uses a web based integration with links. Running NetView on AIX and
CW2000 is absolutely feasible.

Subject: [NV-L] Cisco Works 4 AIX vs. Cisco Works 4 Solaris
I know this is off topic but from reading the list server mail for many
months now, I know many of you use Cisco Works with NV. I'm interested if
anyone has compared the features, stability and performance of Cisco Works
on the AIX operating system against Cisco Works on the Solaris operating
system.
We would like to use Sun Solaris but have an IBM AIX system available. I've
heard the AIX version is does not have all the features of the Solaris
version. We also need to upgrade the Oracle DB on the same system however
Cisco Works is only supported on Solaris 6 (2.6).
Thanks in advance for any advice.
