Rating: Summary: Good refrence for who like to work in deep with Solaris Review: This book with me since 6 months and I'm reading it from time to time when I want to understand something internally inside Solaris. I recommended this book for system engineers those wants to understand Solaris from inside out.
Rating: Summary: NOT for sysadmins! Review: This is not sysadmins. Developers maybe. I wish I could
give 3.5 stars.
Rating: Summary: 5 stars...no reservations! Review: This is the ONLY book I've ever rated 5 stars. It has to be the most depth-filled book ever to come out of SMI (although Adrian Cockroft offers some competition in the tuning book).It is not for the faint of heart, however. The book is meat only--no "history of the internet" chapters and no assumption about the audience's inability to comprehend. If there ever is a "for gurus" series to mirror the "for dummies" series, this book will be included as a ground-breaking first.
Rating: Summary: Excellent Peek into Solaris Kernel Review: Very nicely written book. It's hard though sometimes to understand, and sometimes difficult to follow as the author does not sometimes follow a logical and gradual approach in explaining the topic, like in the case of VMM. However, the book is a must have for someone interested in knowing how Solaris works. If you are able to understand the book cover to cover, you can claim full understanding of Solaris Internals.
Rating: Summary: Excellect book on Solaris Internals Review: While taking the Sun Solaris Internals class, a pre-publication copy of this book was floating around the classroom. Of course I latched on and read as much of it as I could and was very impressed with the depth and amount of useful information contained in this book It simply is the best resource on Solaris Internals that I have ever read. I finally received my own copy after 6 months of waiting, and am one happy camper. If you are a Solaris kernel developer, system admin, performance analysts, or kernel debugger, this is a must-have book. Almost all aspects of Solaris are covered with the exception of device drivers and low-level I/O. My only complaints are the length of time it took to release the book, it does not cover Solaris 8, and page 108 is missing.
