From the Publisher

summary and Back cover copy
This book is an indispensable reference for developers and administrators who want to maximize the performance of their Sun systems. Revised and updated to cover the latest SPARC and software release (including Solaris 2.6). This book presents a collaboration of configuration and performance information not available anywhere else.

Back Cover

"As practical as a Swiss Army 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."—Dexter D. Laggui

Hailed in its first edition as an indispensable reference for system administrators, Sun Performance and Tuning has been revised and expanded to cover Solaris 2.6, the newest generation of SPARC hardware, and the latest Internet and Java server technologies.

Featuring a quick guide to get you started, as well as detailed reference information, this book is indispensable both for developers who need to design for speed and administrators who need to manage system and network performance.

Performance guru Adrian Cockcroft brings his unique expertise and structured approach to this complex and rapidly changing topic, providing detailed information on key aspects of performance management and system behavior that is not available anywhere else. Rich Pettit, author of the SE performance toolkit, describes the performance interfaces in Solaris and how to use this freely available toolkit to build your own customized performance-monitoring tools.

Key topics covered include:

Performance Management and Measurement

TCP and Internet Server Tuning

JAVA Network Computer Server Sizing

SPARC System Architectures

Kernel Algorithms and Tuning

How to Build Your Own Performance Tools

Performance Rules and the virtual_adrian SE Tool

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Tuning book, 10 Mar 2000
By A Customer
Great book, full of specific info, tools , tricks. Good for Monitoring and tuning as well. Specific for Sun Solaris tuning it covers all the fields and topics. This book should be in the library of every System Administrator. The ultimate book for system Tuning.

5.0 out of 5 stars The ultimate solaris tuning book, 3 Jan 2000
This book provides great insight on how to tune your Solaris server for maximum performance. Cockcroft shows he's a total master of sparc system tuning and knows how to bring that knowledge to the reader in a well laid out book. However this book is not for beginners, nor is it a general unix performance tuning book. It is required reading if you want to administer Solaris servers , whether it is on the internet or on your local LAN.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book for in depth System info, needs info for X86!, 18 Jun 1999
By A Customer
This is a great book for an understanding of Solaris Systems, it covers a wide variety of topics and features. There isn't alot of tunining info in it though, and it seems more geared to understanding your system rather than changing. One thing I disliked was the lack of coverage of Solaris for Intel Versions.
