Synopsis

The HP-UX Certified System Engineer (CSE) exam is the next step afterCertified Systems Architect (CSA). The audience for the exam has grown as aresult of several factors. HP is pushing for all external vendors to have CSElevel certification, as well as pushing for internal employees to be CSE certified.HP is also streamlining the number of advanced courses and creating 2 newcourses to make it easier for engineers to get the knowledge they need tobecome certified.Mapping to the exam objectives for the HP-UX CSE exam, this book startswith the premise that readers will be "fluent" in the basic concepts of managinga HP-UX based system. This book allows experienced HP-UX administratorsto deal with new technologies such as fibre channel, SANs, disk arrays,partioned servers and how they impact high-availability environments. As wellas describing such topics from a theoretical perspective, the author directlycorrelates the theory with what individuals will find in their workplace, allowingfor rapid appreciation of the facts. HP-UX guru, Charles Keenan, brings ahands-on approach to how to deal with topics such as high availabilityclustering, node/virtual partitions, performance analysis and troubleshooting,with actual demonstrations from real HP-UX based systems. He gives readersthe information they need to help study for the CSE exam, as well asinformation they can use well after in their day to day management of advancedHP-UX sys admin tasks.
