This book is reasonably complete without being overwhelming. All of the information contained is in the Oracle Solaris 11 docs but I still prefer a book in hand. I bought it mostly for a quick reference. My only complaint is that I have found some typos in the syntax of command line examples in just the short time I have used it. The examples omitted spaces between the command line words, this could be a problem for someone who knows nothing about ZFS and svccfg CLI commands. Page 32 has an error in the example for the svccfg setprop command and page 130 has two errors using the zfs set volsize examples.

Two thumbs up! Solaris 11 is a different beast and this book addresses the latest changes. Kudos to Harry and Glynn on this relevant book.
