Solaris Training Overview

The System Administration for the Solaris 10 Part 2 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 10. 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: Solaris 10 09/10 UPD 9, SPARC or x86/x64 hardware platforms
