Overview

Solaris System Management provides the system manager with the information they need to make the critical, higher level, "architectural" decisions such as large project rollouts and their impact.

Philcox addresses the specific needs of the system manager working in a Solaris environment focusing on task-oriented solutions for the critical decision this demanding job requires.

For example, the book covers how to work through the decision of upgrading to a new version of the OS involving many complex issues.
