At one time I used do only sun but these days it's not enough so one needs to be versatile so now I'm also supporting hpux and other os.
I kind of do what you started to do, SUN only right now.
I basically do:
1. Support for Solaris: We handle customer cases from trivial to escalated issues.
2. Installations for SUN servers/Storage/Tape Library/Blade centers/SANs/Solaris.
3. Support/Service for SUN Hardware (Servers SPARC/X86, Blades, Disk Arrays/SANS, Tape libraries, backup softwares sometimes netbackup and legato).
4. Regular preventive maintenance and checkups.
5. Sales support and management.
6. Training, sometimes we train customers for Solaris administration.
7. Sometimes Linux calls.
I'd like to get exposure other UNIX flavors...maybe I need to change jobs to do that
