We have a fresh install of SMC 3.61 on a Solaris 10 box. We have a mixed SUN environment here with a number of older EOL SUN servers (V480,B1600 blade chassis,...) running Solaris 8,9 & 10. Can you configure SMC3.61 to monitor the older EOL equipment with the older agents?
Trying to monitor the old stuff unitl it disappears.

Yes, it works, it's just not listed as "supported". But I wouldn't be surprised if that changes because there's so much older Sun gear still in the field doing real work...
3.6.1 has all the monitoring bits for the older hardware still packed in, so it will work out-of-the-box. The only pieces they actually removed were for the E10k and the old E3000-E6500 line... but soon after 3.6 came out they added that code back in as a supplement:

I've got 3.6.1 monitoring an old Ultra 80 under my desk (keeps my feet warm during the Canadian winters, eh?)... and it works perfectly... even though it's not "supported" any more.
