HP announced plans to migrate off PA-RISC to Itanium and this is one of very few sources of information about Itanium based HP Integrity platform. So if you are thinking about Integrity, you pretty much don't have much choice and luckily the book is good enough.

If you're looking for some HP-UX general reference, this books is good, but not much different from the older books of the same author.

So bottomline - if you got Integrity or it's your first HP-UX book - it's a great choice. If you already have a bunch of HP-UX books and no Integrity - probably you won't find a lot of new info in this one.

Over time the HP-UX operating system and the hardware it runs on have seen many changes presenting system administrators with new challenges and opportunities. Thankfully, there is a resource you can rely on to help understand these changes and how to best utilize the benefits they provide. HP-UX 11i Version 2 System Administration : HP Integrity and HP 9000 Servers is the latest in an amazing series of books by Marty Poniatowski. The author is a "hands-on" consultant with HP and has been a dependable source of information for administrators for years. Marty is a widely published author with more than a dozen computer related books. In his latest release Marty adds invaluable insight into how to configure an HP9000 or Integrity server for optimal performance. He leads you from the hardware level configuration to hard and soft partitions, through kernel tuning and much more. I'm sure you will find this book to be a valuable resource for all your HP-UX needs.

This book has all what you need for admins, and is great choice.

But for more information in HP-UX I recommend the book hp-ux 11i internals.
