The network management ports on solaris servers are usually 100mb full connections.
The network management gui is quite useful for updating the ILOM/bios/firmware and is a good place to find the serial number.
As of Solaris 10 U8 10/09 the partitioning I'm using is:
12gb /
12gb /var
256 mb for metadata slice
and then I put everthing else in the /opt slice because that's where I store my localzones and downloads.
I set up swap equal to twice the memory installed
The solaris default install that comes on the hardware is set up with very little swap and about the same / as I set up, but nothing set aside for /var or /opt. They leave a good deal of space unallocated though so it's always easy to add more partitions.
Using the install option of turning off network services really helps lock down a new solaris server. I've found that to be quite useful.
