Dear All,


My manager asked me to make full maintenance for my Sun Servers , to improve the performance. What do suggest ? what is the major things I have to do ? with some details pls because I am new admin for the System.

(currently we don't have any errors or any problem in the system but this will be normal maintenance)

look for the normal things.... errors in /var/adm/messages; how full are the filesystems (df -k). what kind of performance are you asking for? network, filesystem or something other?

Try the prstat command..
Type man prstat to see what flags are available

You might also want to use vmstat for swap and mem info.

For filesystem usage info use df and use iostat for disk perf info

sar is also very handy
