Hi all,
I will be moving shortly to another company as a senior SUN Solaris
system admin.
Being responsible of a site that is totally new for me is a nightmare !
I am also afraid not to find teamwork sprit and cooperation from other
sys admins in the new company !

My question is:

Anybody has a draft starter guide for the sys admin whom are about to
change his company ?
I mean what should I first ask for or need to know?

I am thinking about things like:
 - HW/Network/SW (Inventory, Configuration, licenses, support
contracts).
 - Backup HW/SW/Policy/Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Plans.
 - Daily Routine tasks.
 - Logical Volume SW/techniques.
 - OS/Application/Fixes/Patches installation/application policy.
 - Change Management Policy.
 - System Security Policy/Standard.
 - System monitoring SW/Policy.
 - Documentation Methodology.
 - Service Level Agreements.

Did I miss something ? Anyone had a detailed document/URL/Checklist that
can be useful ?

I will appreciate any pointer and will indeed summarize.

Thanks

Levi.
