the best way to learn is to do it yourself install, repair, create/destroy raid 0,1,5; restore data; cluster two server; install applications; play with audit/hardening;etc. studying alone is not enough.
it's easy to do that in vmware/intel. you're problem is sparc but there's second hand computer with sparc, you can buy it for cheap $50, try ebay.com. btw, if you have heard this true story, that 3 years ago, someone bought an ibm mainframe computer for half million, but they sold it last january for 40k only.
