Sys Admin Book

Rusty Sapper — Wed, 25 Jun 2003 14:28:09 GMT

I was hoping someone could recommend a good Book on Advanced HPUX system Administration. also, I'm looking fo a good book on performance tuning.

If there are any online docs related to these, that would be great too.

TIA

HP Certified by Rafeeq Ur Rehman is a pretty good sysadmin text.

HP-UX 11.X by Pontiatowsky is also very good.

Hi,

I have the HP-UX 11.x System Administration book by Marty Poniatowski. It's ok, it covers a good bit of stuff. I also like the Essential System Administration book by AEleen Frisch.

For performance tuning I really like the HP-UX TUning and Performance book by Robert F. Sauers and Peter S. Weygant.

Apart from these, Bill Hassel is also writing a book on System Administration. But I dont know when it will turn out.

HTH,

Take a look at "Disk & File Management Tasks on HP-UX" by Tom Madel ISBN 0-13-518861-X.

Also "HP-UX Tuning and Performance" by R.F Sauers and P.S. Weygant, ISBN 0-13-102716-6.

I also would recommend "Portable Shell Programming. An Extensive Collection of Bourne Shell Examples" by B. Blinn. ISBN 0-13-451494-7.

No such list is complete without this masterpiece.

"The Magic Garden Explained" Goodheart and Cox
Prentice Hall

This book examines just a handful of topics, and is not HP/UX, but after reading, you'll truly understand the subject. This book is the route to true enlightenment, and by far my favorite tech book.

i.e. I never knew what STREAMS were doing until I read this. Now I'll never have another question.
