OTN Sys Admin Days are live classroom events with two, parallel hands-on Oracle Solaris and Oracle Linux tracks designed for the System Administrator. You'll need to bring your own laptop to follow the practical exercises that we will go through in an Oracle VM VirtualBox environment.
Oracle Solaris Track - Steps required to use ZFS, including taking snapshots, cloning data, managing your allocation limits, and recovering from errors.
- Oracle Solaris virtualization technologies, learning how to isolate or consolidate the OS, the storage, or the network.
- Oracle Solaris security - helping you walk through the steps to manage privileges, deal with rights and authorizations, and really understand how security is integrated with the Oracle Solaris Service Management Facility (SMF).
Oracle Linux Track - Overview of Ksplice, zero downtime kernel updates that enable customers to apply security updates, patches and critical bug fixes without rebooting.
- Installing and configuring Oracle VM VirtualBox, importing the Oracle Linux virtual appliance
- Package management on Oracle Linux using RPM and yum.
- Linux services and run levels, how to start and stop them, checking the status of a particular service.
- Preparing block devices, creating physical and logical volumes.
