too thin on in depth knowledge
I skimmed through this book in about an hour, I didn't gain much from this. Actually you can get all of the same info from the disksuite documentation and veritas vm online docs from their respective websites. At the least I would have hoped for a more indepth explination of data center best practices, etc.. I give this book a thumbs down..

Innacurate...
Not only useless because is far too simple written, but full of major mistakes too. In first 27 pages I spotted 2 major mistakes: One at page 8 were the listing is pretty much mangled in the upper part of the page. Also, as Unix Admins on real HA systems, we don't use the GUI but rather the command line which only got 5 pages in the book. The Disksuite documentation supplied by Sun and available at docs.sun.com is much better and not at all complicated. The volume manager part is outdated since the current version available use a completelly diferent GUI application. It was outdated even at the time the book was published. Hey, technical reviewers, why do you allow such books to appear ?

Blows Chunks...

I was disappointed - this book seems very simple minded - yet lacking a lot of important and relevant information.;
