Chapter 1. Quick Tips and Recipes

This book presents too much detail for you to absorb quickly, so, to start you off, I’ll first list a few recurring situations and frequently asked questions I have encountered, with references to the rest of the book for in-depth detail. If you are new to Solaris, some of these tips may be confusing. You can follow the cross-references to get a deeper explanation, or read on and return to the tips later.

For situations where you have no idea where to begin, I have also outlined a “cold start” procedure that should help you focus on problem areas. That section is followed by some performance-oriented configuration recipes for common system types.
