Question About Solaris 11 Support in Lansweeper

[judest]

Hello Mercedes.

I am Jude, I'm based in the UK.  

The question that I have involves Lansweeper for SPARC servers,  I see a lot of posts regarding Linux in the community and very little that contain any detail about Solaris 11 support, I guess Solaris isn't supported therefore,  I see install information seems to pertain to linux and ubuntu/rhel repos however it is clear that these aren't useful for UNIX so please could you advise whetherSolaris hosts have to run in agentless mode for Lansweeper to gather data and if not please could you point me to the install documentation for Solaris/UNIX?  I am new and haven't found yet an answer to that one but I currently undertaking the findamentals training but it is throwing up moe questions currently than it answers for the non Linux, Non Windows, Non MacOS world.  thank you

As long as the appropriate commands are installed, agentless scanning should still work the same as any other Unix or Linux system. The installation would be the same setup of SSH and sudoers. The exact steps may be different (for example if you're not using OpenSSH) but as long as Lansweeper can connect and run the commands it should be the same from there.

LsAgent should work, but if it can't find a certain library or the right version it may have trouble. This can happen with some distributions that update or drop support for certain versions of libcrypto/libssl for example. I'm not aware what libraries Solaris ships with so not sure if that would come into play.

I'd encourage you to try it and see if it works. I may be able to spin up an OpenIndiana VM and do some testing. Of course, our technical support staff will also be happy to help if anything doesn't work:

Thanks very much.  🙂  I have a meeting next week internally and I advised that I thought Solaris would run in agentless mode which they're happy with and will try LSAgent when I can.
