ALthough DSAU per se is not available for Solaris, as all the components of DSAU are made up of open-source software, I expect you will be able to find versions for Solaris - Look for Open Source versions of syslog-ng, cfengine and the parallel distributed shell (pdsh). Those I'm sure will be available - they might take a bit more configuring than on HPUX though...
