About the course The course is intended for those who need to find out how to administer a SUN Solaris platform, be this from the viewpoint of hands-on administrator, project manager, developer, or as support staff. Throughout the course, the training follows a pattern of firstly how and why Solaris works as it does, followed by how to engineer changes hands on. Lastly, as the course moves on and the delegate acquires more skills, business based workshops are introduced. These require you to decide how the system should be built, deployed and managed, as well as drawing upon the hands-on skills needed to effect an actual outcome based on your decisions. One feature of systems administration is that to achieve what seems to be a small, limited task, suddenly requires knowledge of several areas. While the order of the course contents has been carefully designed to minimise this effect, be prepared for repair work in areas that you may not be familiar with at that point in time. Be assured the topic will be covered in detail at the appropriate point in the course. A real-world view of the training is adopted, to take the delegate past the training lab and into the world of business computing. Your contribution to the labs is highly valued in this respect. Feel free to discuss issues relating to your own businesses, especially where the class as a whole would benefit from seeing what problems, and options to solve them, exist outside the lab. Should you need examples to help you get started with individual commands or collections of actions, a resource for systems administration delegates has been provided, mounted under the root directory as /rootmgr. Sub directories of scripts, data, pgks, awk, manpgs contain worked examples that will be used during course. Feel free to take the package away with you. Routines are present to facilitate the complete reconstruction of the classroom environment on a machine at work that you may wish to practice on. Remember, some of the programs are dangerous so be careful where you use them afterwards. So too with other hands on routines demonstrated in the course, which you will be aware form the basis of dangerous intrusions. Duration 3 days |
