Solaris Internals: Core Kernel Architecture by Jim Mauro and Richard Mc Dougall 700 pages Written for system programmers, developers, system administrators, application architects or any technical staff member who uses or is planning to use a system running Solaris, Solaris Internals, Core Kernel Architecture covers all aspects of SunOS, the operating system component of Sun's Solaris operating environment and focuses on the major kernel data structures and kernel code algorithms. Keeping an eye toward the practical application of the information provided, the authors apply the material to appropriate real-world endeavors, such as application development tuning, systems administration and maintenance.
Solaris Internals, Second Edition: Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris Kernel Architecture 1072 pages "The Solaris Internals volumes are simply the best and most comprehensive treatment of the Solaris (and OpenSolaris) Operating Environment. Any person using Solaris––in any capacity––would be remiss not to include these two new volumes in their personal library. With advanced observability tools in Solaris (like DTrace), you will more often find yourself in what was previously unchartable territory. Solaris Internals, Second Edition, provides us a fantastic means to be able to quickly understand these systems and further explore the Solaris architecture––especially when coupled with OpenSolaris source availability." ––Jarod Jenson, chief systems architect, Aeysis
Solaris Performance and Tools: DTrace and MDB Techniques for Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris
496 pages "The Solaris Internals volumes by Jim Mauro and Richard McDougall must be on your bookshelf if you are interested in in-depth knowledge of Solaris Operating System internals and architecture. As a senior Unix engineer for many years, I found the first edition of Solaris Internals the only fully comprehensive source for kernel developers, systems programmers, and systems administrators. The new second edition, with the companion performance and debugging book, is an indispensable reference set, containing many useful and practical explanations of Solaris and its underlying subsystems, including tools and methods for observing and analyzing any system running Solaris 10 or OpenSolaris." ––Marc Strahl, senior Unix engineer
