Best performance tuning reference around for Solaris
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Great book. I can't say enough good things about Adrian's work. This book has lots of useful information on improving performance on Solaris machines. Really good information on tuning the tcp/ip stack, however, I wish there had been more of it. If you're looking to tune Solaris, this one is a must have.
Great book

I'd recommend this book to any Solaris Systems Administrator/Benchmark Engineer who deals with Performance Monitoring and tuning at this job. The book goes in great technical detail about the various parameters. It is a little old (was published in 1994 when Solaris was still in 2.3) but it helps in understanding Solaris internals from a systems professional standpoint.
As practical as a swiss-knife for a power-hungry SysAdmin.

For all the Sun gurus, veterans and newbies: this is for you. As a must-have in one's library, it'll be one of your most worn out references in your serious IT career. It is practical and very illustrative in its approach to solving sample problems.
A must read for a collection of sun performance issues
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 28 years ago
Brings the reader upto speed as to the issues which could affect sun systems and networks. This is a murky area and throws light on how a admin can look at each issue judicously and eliminate them one by one and get to the root cause of the problem.
