System Administration Guide: Resource Management and Network Services
PrefaceSystem Administration Guide: Resource Management
and Network Services is part of a multivolume set that covers
a significant part of the Solaris™ system administration
information. This book assumes that you have already installed the SunOS™ 5.9 operating system, and you have set up any networking
software that you plan to use. The SunOS 5.9 operating system is part of the
Solaris 9 product family, which also includes many features, such as the Solaris
Common Desktop Environment (CDE).
Note - The Solaris operating environment runs on two types of hardware,
or platforms--SPARC®
and IA. The Solaris operating environment runs on both 64-bit and 32-bit
address spaces. The information in this document pertains to both platforms
and address spaces unless called out in a special chapter, section, note,
bullet, figure, table, example, or code example.
Who Should Use This Book
This book is intended for anyone responsible for administering one or
more systems that run the Solaris 9 release. To use this book, you should

administration experience. Attending UNIX system administration training courses
might be helpful.
