This work is designed for systems administrators making the transition to Sun's "Solaris 2" system environment. This system is relevant not only to SunOS administrators, but also to Intel-based workstations, since Solaris runs on both. SunOS administrators should be able to make a smooth transition to the Solaris system with the help of this book, and Intel users, less familiar with UNIX, are also carefully guided towards success. The text begins by defining the role of system administrator, then goes on to cover the basics of Solaris 2, such as open windows, virtual file system, virtual memory, the Solaris kernel and shells. Next it deals systematically with aspects of system administration: utilities; backups and restores; system management; network monitoring; security; account management; installation; network management; trouble-shooting; and interoperability issues. The book concludes with two appendices on making the transition from Sun's current operating system, and portability and compatibility. It also includes examples of code and file excerpts.
