ST-350 --- Sun Systems Fault Analysis Workshop

The Sun Systems Fault Analysis Workshop teaches system administrators and field engineers how to analyze faults.

The Sun Systems Fault Analysis Workshop teaches system administrators and field engineers how to analyze faults, perform diagnostics analysis, and use Sun's Predictive Self-Healing technology and DTrace toolkit for the SPARC-based and x86-based Solaris computing environments. These skills directly translate to higher availability levels and increased uptime of the Solaris Operating System (Solaris OS). The course provides instruction in the use of a fault analysis method, platform-based diagnostic tools, and the fault isolation capabilities of the Service Management Facility and Fault Management Architecture as well as providing hands-on fault isolation practice in the workshop.

• System Administration for the Solaris 10 Operating System, Part 2 (SA-202-S10)

• Knowledge of system boot procedures

• Experience administering a Solaris 10 environment

• Ability to manage system processes

• Experience in using the Service management Facility

System Administrators, System Maintainers, and Field Engineers.

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 Requi
