Solaris Internals and Performance FAQ

This site provides information supporting the Solaris Internals books published by Jim Mauro, Richard McDougall and Brendan Gregg. Our aim is to provide links to pertinent reference material and tools discussed in the book, plus any new and relevant information about the Solaris operating system since publication.Updated for the addition of the 2nd Edition as well as the 'Solaris Performance and Tools: DTrace and MDB Techniques for Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris' companion book.We are developing a community to provide a go-to reference for the key information related to Solaris Performance. Here we aim to provide a top level index to the essential performance information, by either linking to existing references (blogs etc...) and providing original documentation where necessary.
