When monitoring operating systems and server applications you will probably get to thinking you would like to monitor a bit more from the hardware as well. Well this is possible in a few ways depending on the hardware and also depending on the operating system running on it.
In many cases, like with Dell and HP there are hardware monitoring and management agents installed on the server which get used by management packs to talk to.
So let’s go with some of the links I have listed (some might be more than just the server hardware, but I am guessing you wont mind seeing an additional link):

Outside of what the cross plat agent can monitor you can add to this by adding the Solaris machine as a SNMP network device and pick up the xSNMP MP and add the Sun monitoring bits.
