Solaris

vinylbomb

Hi folks,
As a result of a new role I am getting chucked in the deep end as a Solaris admin. Does anyone know of any good reading material (besides the stuff on the Sun site).
Thanks in advance

Have you any unix-ey experience at all?

I've dealt with Ubuntu & OpenSuse on the Linux side of things, and plenty of OsX..........

I find this FAQ page to be good - http://www.sunhelp.org/faqs/

If I was to have to make the move you did then I would get these also:

This all depends on what you want to do on Solaris.

In our solaris env we are mostly utilizing the newer features of Solaris, including

ZFS ( file-system/Volume Manager ), Solaris Zones/Containers, LDom's, RBAC, etc

Do you know what you have been tasked with ?
