Compare AIX and Sun

My company recently went from renting mainframe time to purchasing an RS/6000 system with AIX and just when I was starting to feel comfortable with AIX, my company decided to purchase some Sun boxes running Solaris. I know that 'UNIX is UNIX' as far as most commands go (ls, ps, grep etc...) but was hoping that someone would be kind enough to point out the differences in administering each type of system. Are there any classes offered that may be beneficial? Is my company trying to drive me insane?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance! [sig]<p>Christopher Devenny<br><a href=mailto:c_devenny@yahoo.com>c_devenny@yahoo.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br> [/sig]
 
First, you'll soon miss the logical volume manager included with AIX, and the simplicity of SMIT. I recommend you to start using the F6 key at SMIT to learn the plain commands to do everything. You'll miss the Web-based System Manager too.

Hope. [sig][/sig]
