Learn how to work smart and avoid common pitfalls of managing Solaris systems
The Solaris operating system is used by hundreds of thousands of companies worldwide to run everything from Web services to back-end financial systems. The Solaris 9 release improves manageability; however, it also increases the complexity of the operating environment and the amount of skill needed to engineer and implement quality, long-lasting solutions.
Written by two experts, this book is packed with honest coverage of Solaris’s strengths and weaknesses. The authors tackle tough issues that experienced Solaris system administrators face on a daily basis, such as how to build highly available solutions and how to manage Solaris in a heterogeneous environment. Their practical guidance on how to work smarter and avoid the pitfalls of managing Solaris–whether you’ve upgraded to version 9 or are still using an earlier version–is invaluable.
The authors show how to: Manage system performance Administer the Sun Fire line of servers and the older E10K Install, configure, and patch Solaris Maintain high availability Automate system administration functions Ensure system security

A COPY OF THE INDEX--CHECK IT OUT!
Understand Unix and want to dig deeper into Solaris Admin? Then this is the book for you. I love this book--it is my new bible and I study it every chance I get. Well written. I had been using Unix for a long time but was weak in Sys Admin. Partly because I didn't have a good reference. Without a knowledge of the boot process, diaganostic tools, I felt I had a major weakness in this area. I looked around for a book that would fill this need and was very happy to find this book. I especially liked the chapter on setting up an Internet site. I listed the index below, since it's one thing I like to read before purchasing a book. Hope this helps you make your decision. The Index:1. Making Smart Decisions About File Systems2. Planning Backups and Restores3. Booting and Hardward Diagnotics4. Configuring Run States5. Installing and Patching your Solaris System6.
