System Administration Guide: Advanced Administration is part of a documentation set that covers a significant part of the Oracle Solaris system administration information. This guide includes information for both SPARC and x86 based systems.
This book assumes that you have installed the Oracle Solaris operating system (OS). It also assumes that you have set up any networking software that you plan to use.
For the Oracle Solaris release, new features that are interesting to system administrators are covered in sections called What's New in ... ? in the appropriate chapters.
Note - This Oracle Solaris release supports systems that use the SPARC and x86 families of processor architectures. The supported systems appear in the Oracle Solaris OS: Hardware Compatibility Lists. This document cites any implementation differences between the platform types.
In this document these x86 related terms mean the following:
“x86” refers to the larger family of 64-bit and 32-bit x86 compatible products.
“x64” relates specifically to 64-bit x86 compatible CPUs.
“32-bit x86” points out specific 32-bit information about x86 based systems.
For supported systems, see the Oracle Solaris OS: Hardware Compatibility Lists.
This book is intended for anyone responsible for administering one or more systems that are running Oracle Solaris 10. To use this book, you should have 1-2 years of UNIX system administration experience. Attending UNIX system administration training courses might be helpful.
Here is a list of the topics that are covered by the System Administration Guides.

Be aware of the following conventions that are used in this book.
When following steps or using examples, be sure to type double-quotes ("), left single-quotes (`), and right single-quotes (') exactly as shown.
The key referred to as Return is labeled Enter on some keyboards.
It is assumed that the root path includes the /sbin, /usr/sbin, /usr/bin, and /etc directories, so the steps in this book show the commands in these directories without absolute path names. Steps that use commands in other, less common, directories show the absolute path in the example.
