The Sun Fire Midrange Server Administration training course provides the information needed to configure, monitor, and manage the Sun Fire V1280/E2900, 3800, 4800/E4900, 4810, and 6800/E6900 midrange servers. Additionally, you will 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, delegates 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

Enterprise system administrators, Platform and Domain administrators, System administrators, and anyone responsible for supporting midrange networked database servers.
