Solaris for a Red Hat admin

By abohmeed

Hello Solaris gurus
Recently I was assigned to work on the company’s Oracle Solaris 10 servers. Actually this is the first time I lay eyes on a Solaris machine… like ever! I’ve spent my career dealing with Red Hat run servers (I am an RHCE). I’ve also worked for a while on IBM AIX.
The question is, simply, where to start? I’ve already downloaded the entire Solaris 10 information library from Oracle. It’s huge reading resource (> 1GB) that is going to take some time to go through. So is there another source of information not for newbies but for a Linux guy like me?
To narrow things down a little my manager has asked me to handle the performance degradation problem on those servers as a first priority, so what exactly should I be looking at? I already checked the CPU, memory and disk IO but they all look normal. So any more ideas?
Thanks a lot in advance
