Sun Fire Midrange Server Administration

( Duration: 5 Days )

The Sun Fire Midrange Server Administration training course provides delegates with the information needed to configure, monitor, and manage the Sun Fire V1280/E2900, 3800, 4800/E4900, 4810, and 6800/E6900 midrange servers. Additionally, delegates implement concurrent maintenance and high-availability strategies, and use firmware tools and applications to assess a system.

By attending Sun Fire Midrange Server Administration workshop, Participants will learn to:

Understand system controller administration, set up and configure the system controller, and navigate platform and domain shells
Perform common configuration and administrative tasks
Create and manage segments and domains
Configure a system for multipathed I/O and dynamically manage system resources

Detailed knowledge of the Solaris Operating System (Solaris OS) and UNIX
Knowledge of backup and storage
Detailed knowledge of network administration
Knowledge of Sun Management Center 3.0 software
Experience administrating workgroup and enterprise servers

Delegates who can benefit from this course are enterprise system administrators, platform and domain administrators, system administrators, and anyone responsible for supporting midrange networked database servers.
