Introduction to Solaris
Our Introduction
to Solaris course covers Solaris fundamentals, but in a practical
and thorough way. You'll feel confident and eager to learn more, and
will have all the skills necessary to handle day-to-day Solaris
sessions. Many people comment that this is a "well-rounded" course, and
sets them up perfectly to progress further. Logging in, file
manipulation, directory skills, documentation, vi editor, file
permissions, processes, shell command-line skills (IO control, history,
aliases, using quotes) Want more? Utilities
overview, and Sun Java Desktop window system are also covered, plus to
finish off,
a network services overview. A truly comprehensive course which
provides the best possible springboard into your Solaris career.
Solaris Utilities and Shell Programming
If you administrate Solaris, or look after
applications support (or a hundred other similar technical roles!) then
our Solaris Utilities and Shell
Programming course
provides essential skills to get the absolute most out of the Solaris
system. The two main areas covered are Solaris utilities (the nawk,
sed, grep and sort variety, plus many others including tar, dd and
find; Oh, and differentail commands such as comm and diff) and
Bourne/Korn shell programming. These sections will give you the skills
required to write (and understand) complex shell command procedures
to automate many tasks such as reports, backups, adding users, data
manipulation, system monitoring, and so much more. You'll also learn
the more intricate and powerful aspects of the vi editor (Not too long
on this though!) A real power-users
course designed to make the most of Solaris. This course, combined with
the Solaris
Introduction course
(course code SI), provides preparation for the new Sun Certified
Solaris Associate (SCSAS) CX-310-105 exam. Further courses lead to
administrator certifications;
Solaris 10 Administration - Part 1
Essential skills for successful and secure
systems administration. Solaris
10 System Administration (Part 1), the first in a series of four
admin courses, concentrates on the important areas common to all
workstations, such as Solaris installation, software management the
admin SMC GUI tools, Startup and Shutdown, File system management and
security, the new ZFS file system, taking backups and restoring (even a
complete system), the use of file system snapshots, plus
adding printers and disks. Everyone who needs to look after a Solaris
system should start here. This course is the equivalent of the Sun
SA-200-S10 Solaris Administration Part 1 course, but it covers more for
a
lot less money! This course provides preparation for the Solaris
Certified Systems Administrator (SCSA) Part 1 CX-310-200 exam.
Solaris 10 Administration - Part 2
For those who manage networked Solaris
machines and perform advanced administartion duties, the Solaris 10 System
Administration (Part 2) course is as essential as the part 1. You
will understand how to physically connect your system then look
at the IP address scheme and get machines talking. Then configure
network logical
interfaces, IPMP (IP Multipathing) ,basic access
commands (ssh, etc) , security control, network processes and network
monitoring. Move on to thoroughly explore the NFS (Network File
System) file sharing mechanism including auto-mounting user home
directories and others. Learn how to store and manage admin files
centrally using
the LDAP name service (a full working set up of LDAP is shown in the
notes). Set
up
basic SAMBA file sharing and Apache web server
configurations.
The course continues with advanced topics such as Jump Start and Build
servers, Flash Installs,
Solaris Volume Manager (SVM), Crash
and core dump management, RBAC, System Messaging
and Log Management. The Solaris containers (Zones) facility for
creating additional Solaris
(and now Linux and Solaris 8/9) environments on the same machine. Not
forgetting an extensice session with Live Upgrade to install and
maintain alternate boot environments while the machie is running...
This course is the equivalent of the Sun SA-202-S10 course, and
provides preparation for the Solaris Certified Systems
Administrator (SCSA) Part 2 CX-310-202 exam..
You need to pass both
Parts 1 & 2
to become certified.
Solaris 10 Network Administration
This five-day Solaris 10 Network
Administration course is designed to cover
Solaris network administration in depth and is an extension to our Solaris
10 System Administration
(Part 1) and Solaris
10 Systems Administration
(Part 2). This course covers many networking topics,
including the
TCP/IP model; network topologies, media, interfaces and utilities; ARP
and RARP; configuring IP; IPMP (Multipathing); routing; IPV6 (IP
version 6); DNS (Domain Name System); DHCP
(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol); NTP (Network Time Protocol) and
IP Filter Firewall. Additional topics are also covered, including Link
Aggregations with dladm, Wireless Network configuratiom, and ISCSI
configuration, with full hands-on experience at all stages. This
course is comparable with the Sun SA-300-S10 course
and leads to the Solaris Certified Network Administrator CX-310-302 exam.
Solaris 10 Update Workshop (Solaris 10 New
Features for Experienced Administrators)
Solaris
10 Update Workshop this workshop is intended for Solaris
Administrators who wish to quickly get up to speed with the new
features of Solaris 10. It covers all the major new facilities, in a
workshop environment, providing extensive hands-on practicals.
Solaris Live Upgrade Workshop
Solaris Live Upgrade
Workshop
Live Upgrade provides advanced upgrading and
patching capabilities on Solaris SPARC and Intel platforms, especially
since the 10/08 update 6 release, which introduced ZFS root pools. Boot
environments can now be almost instantly cloned for upgrading or
patching while the system is live, and once the upgrade or patching is
done, only a reboot is required to complete the task. The old boot
environment. acts as a backup to fall back to in case of problems..
This one-day training course provides a thorough and
practical look at Live Upgrade for both upgrading the OS and installing
patches. The course utilises both SPARC and Intel systems for the
practical sessions, covering both UFS and ZFS boot environments.
Additional
Live Upgrade facilities are also demostrated, such as the ability to
install a boot environment from a Flash Archive.
Solaris Logical Domains Administration
Solaris 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.
Upcoming Solaris Courses
Solaris CIFS File Sharing
Solaris CIFS is the
new Microsoft File Sharing protocol to be built in to Solaris, as an
alternative to using the open source Samba software. First Alternative
will have a one-day course available for this new feature as soon as it
becomes available in the main Solaris release.
