Základní info
The Solaris Operating System Administration for Experienced UNIX Administrators course provides students with the necessary knowledge and skills to perform core system administration tasks in the Solaris 10 Operating System. This course is intended to provide experienced UNIX administrators with information about core Solaris concepts, and focuses on practical experience implementing Solaris features through lab exercises. LAB INFORMATION: The hands-on labs offered in this course may involve accessing equipment that resides at a location other than where the training is delivered. Students who can benefit from this courseSystem and Network Administrators who have experience managing UNIX systems and are looking to administer a Solaris environment This course counts towards the Hands-on course requirement for the Oracle Solaris 10 System Administrator Certification. Only instructor-led inclass or instructor-led online formats of this course will meet the Certification Hands-on Requirement. Self Study CD-Rom and Knowledge Center courses DO NOT meet the Hands-on Requirement.
