E-Books: System Administration Guide, Volume I
About This Book
System Administration Guide, Volume I is part of a two-volume set that covers a significant part of the Solaris™ system administration information. It includes both SPARC™ and x86 information and describes how to use the Solstice™ AdminSuite tools to perform some of the system administration tasks.
This book assumes that you have already installed the SunOS 5.5™ operating system and Solstice AdminSuite, and you have set up any networking software that you plan to use. The SunOS 5.x operating system is part of the Solaris 2.x product family, which also includes many utilities and OpenWindows™ Version 3.x. The SunOS 5.x operating system is compliant with AT&T’s System V, Release 4 operating system.
System Administration Guide, Volume I and System Administration Guide, Volume II have replaced the following books previously released with the Solaris operating environment:
- Security, Performance, and Accounting Administration
- User Accounts, Printers, and Mail Administration
- Administration Supplement for Solaris Platforms
- Common Administration Tasks
- File System Administration
- Administration Application Reference Manual
- Peripherals Administration
Who Should Use This Book
This book is intended for anyone responsible for administering one or more systems running the Solaris 2.x release. To use this book, you should have 1-2 years of UNIX® system administration experience and preferably a Computer Science B.S. degree or equivalent knowledge.
How This Book Is Organized
This book is split into parts that each cover a major system administration topic. Each part contains chapters that provide both overview and task information.
Most of the overview information about a topic is usually described in the beginning chapters of each part, and the other chapters provide step-by-step instructions on system administration tasks that you need to perform. Each set of steps is usually followed by a way to verify that the task was successfully performed and an example of how to perform the task.
