I know you said you are on Solaris, but in addition to the other suggestions, I would *highly* recommend the following book...

http://julian.dyke.users.btopenworld.com/com/Books/Contents.html , or for the commericial link...

http://www.amazon.com/Pro-Oracle-Database-Linux-Administration/dp/1590595246/sr=8-1/qid=1166038549/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/102-2443750-3020165?ie=UTF8&s=books

It is the single best soup to nuts overview of RAC I have ever read.
