Summary

This concise, practical book brings together all the information system

administrators need to run Solaris 10 successfully in any environment, large or

small, on any hardware platform. Authored by a team of Solaris experts at Sun

Microsystems, this book offers rock-solid reliable information on every facet of

system administration: both day-to-day tasks and the occasional tasks that

sysadmins rarely perform, but must be handled correctly the first time.

This book is packed with step-by-step guidance, tested examples, and expert

troubleshooting solutions gleaned from real-world enterprise deployments.

Topics covered include: Solaris 10 Installation, Upgrade, and Patching;

understanding and managing boot and shutdown; working with file systems;

monitoring and controlling system processes; working with fault management;

managing disks, devices, and security; configuring networks; administering and

authenticating users; working with containers; and managing both naming and

printing services.

with Solaris, making it ideal for thousands of system administrators moving

from other environments, such as Linux or Windows.
