Questions on LoadUI
I recently started using LoadUI and I have couple (actually many) questions on its functionality. My basic objective is to test the Performance of couple of Web Services. I would be preparing the s...

AlumniHi!
Your use case sounds like a perfect fit for loadUI+soapUI (honestly!).
All of these should technically work in Solaris, but we don't officially support Solaris.
Port 8443 is standard, but it can easily be changed.
Basically, the only thing you need to do is to use a soapUI Runner in loadUI and point it to your TestCase. Read more here.
LoadUI 2.0 will have larger focus on soapUI integration and features a new soapUI Runner that integrates even better (visually and technically). It will for example make it easier to transfer sessions between soapUI Runners (e.g. Login, Delay, Search, Loop, Split based on probability, Logout or Purchase etc.). The first beta of 2.0 will be released in about two weeks.
You do this by using Generator components and route wires to the soapUI Runners. All this is covered in the documentation. In time for the first beta of loadUI 2.0, the documentation will be extended and contain much more video -- but the current documentation should definitely cover your question.
There's a Ramp component and we're currently considering adding an additional component just for this.
In loadUI 2.0 Pro, server monitoring is built in. Statistics is automatically saved in local databases, can be compared and mixed with Virtual User statistics.
Could you please clarify this? You can load test any soapUI TestCase in loadUI, and soapUI is very flexible and features a lot of scripting capabilities. You can also build your own components and server monitors in loadUI using the same scripting language.
These statistics are all accessed from the Statistics Workbench in loadUI. This is all covered in the documentation here.
Hope this answers all your questions!

i. Concurrent users
ii. Transaction summary
iii. Hits per Second
vi. Throughput
v. Server Counters data capturing
