Solaris 10 Logical Domains Administration
This intensive one-day course covers all the
areas necessary to install and administrate the Solaris 10 Logical
Domains software on Sun CMT (Core Multi-Threaded) servers. It starts
with server access configuration, followed by firmware issues, and then
examines building the Solaris 10 OS and installing the latest Logical
Domain Manager (LDOM) software.. This is followed by LDOM configuration
of the Control and Service domains, and a variety of guest domains
each running their own operating system.
Further administration tasks such as changing domain resources are also
covered.
Attendees have full access to a CMT server for the duration of the
course.
Further courses lead to
administrator certifications; for full details click here:
