This IBM Redbooks publication tells the reader how to run WebSphere Application Server V6.1 on the Sun Solaris 10 Operating System. While WebSphere Application Server is platform-independent, each platform it runs on requires some additional platform-specific knowledge and configuration in order to ensure it operates efficiently and at maximum capability.

Our primary focus is to explain the installation, configuration, and best practices for deployment and performance tuning of WebSphere Application Server in the Solaris environment. We take you through all the steps required to run WebSphere Application Server on Solaris 10, including installing WebSphere Application Server and Solaris, tuning the operating system and application server, security, administrative tasks, problem determination, and advanced topologies.
