Re: [Nagios-users] [Nagios-devel] FW: Nagios - SunOS
This is really a joke, right? The in-charge person in our team feel s afraid to upgrade the SunOS to higher versions, just because of lack of technical knowledge. I suggested on the upgrade, but the boss with that in-charge person. While I think we're getting considerably off-topic for this list, there are real and unfortunate reasons to run old, outdated OS releases. In a previous life, our software development firm simply didn't stop supporting our software packages. Ever. As a result, we had to keep old SunOS, Solaris, IRIX, AIX, and HP-UX systems running, as they were our only method of testing customer issues. Is this ideal? No. Does it follow best practices? Nope. But it was a business requirement, and therefore it happened.

Honestly, your best solution may actually be to install a new machine that is running an OS new enough to run the latest version of Nagios. Keeping old hardware and old OS'es running may be a requirement for specific software systems, but there is no technical reason you have to run Nagios on the same outdated hardware.
