Solaris

I am interested in books with good coverage of Solaris 8 or 9, maybe 10 (is 10 widely deployed in production yet)


I've been doing unix admin for a while but on other platforms. I've noticed that most if not all of Solaris books in the bookstore assume you need to know the basic stuff, ksh, sed/awk etc. I want a book that's for an non-newbie admin to transition to Solaris and deals with fairly advanced subjects, ideally including logical volume management, NFS, jumpstart, storage devices, hardware possibly - the real world with emphasis on things unique to solaris that you just don't get to learn working on other platforms.


I also realize that sun docs are really good and free, but is there an affordable hardcopy format?


I've also found that books which try to cover all platforms are pretty useless (to me, anyway) I've had that Evi Nemeth "red" book for years but never really made any use of it... one size fits none.
