Solaris Training Overview
The Oracle Solaris 11 (Advanced) System Administration 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 11. 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: Oracle Solaris 11, SPARC or x86/x64 hardware platforms.
Solaris Training Prerequisites
It is assumed that the participant has successfully completed the Oracle Solaris 11 System Administration 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)
- configure a basic Automated Installer (AI) server
- use both file and directory ACLs
- distinguish between privilege and non-privilege aware programs
- control privileges at the executable and user process levels
