Performance data, *nix

Hello,

I want to write a tool which fetches performance data from remote machines. Sounds easy? well there are some requirements:
No extra "client" software should be needed on the hosts, remote shell access (e.g. SSH) should be enough. -> I'm limited to a small amount of tools.
I want CPU, disk, memory and network data.
Monitoring should work on: Linux, Solaris, AIX, HP-UX

So what I'm working on right now is to find out what tools can be used for that task, on which systems they are available, how does the man page and output look like .. since that differs on every platform. The result of this should be an "intersection" of tools and their measured values.

Here are tools I've found so far:

procps
vmstat
free
df (useful: -k -P -l, -P not available on solaris)
uptime

sysstat
sar
iostat (-c, -d, -x no on solaris, -t solaris only)
mpstat

net-tools
netstat (-i, -s not on solaris)

Now what do you think of the idea?
One of my big problems is that I don't have access to Solaris, AIX, HP-UX at the moment, so I could just look up man pages on google, maybe you can help me?

Thanks in advance,
regards

NAME

       install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system

SYNOPSIS

       install-solaris

       install-solaris	invokes  the  Solaris  Install	program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       For SPARC machines:

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       384 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       For x86 machines:

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       512 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number  of  fea-
       tures available.

       install-solaris	exists	only  on  the Solaris installation media (CD or DVD) and should be invoked only from there. Refer to the  for more
       details.

       install-solaris allows installation of the operating system onto any standalone system. install-solaris loads the software available on the
       installation media. Refer to the  for disk space requirements.

       Refer to the  for more information on the various menus and selections.
