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

On the companion Web site you’ll also find:

* The latest version of scripts found in the book
* Links to the best Solaris resources on the Web
