Solaris Training Overview
The System Administration for the Solaris 10 Part 2 course
introduces participants to: virtualization (zones), configuring access
to networked directories and file systems (NFS), dynamic system
tracing for system analysis (DTrace), core dump analysis,
an introduction to the usage of access control lists (ACL) and the
implementation of privileges in Solaris 10. In many areas of discussion,
emphasis will be placed on writing tools for monitoring and/or access.
These tools will include Korn shell scripts, Perl procedures, and
C language programs.
Systems: Solaris 10 09/10 UPD 9, SPARC or x86/x64 hardware platforms
Solaris Training Prerequisites
It is assumed that the participant has successfully completed the
System Administration for the Solaris 10 OS Part 1 course, or has equivalent
system time as a user, and is comfortable with basic systems
administration functions.
Solaris Training Course duration
This course normally requires four (4) days, approximately 60%
lecture, and 40% lab time.
Solaris Training Course Objectives
On completion of this course, a systems administrator should be able to:
- configure and setup NFS server and client systems
- create and control virtualization features (zones)
