Synopsis

The perfect study companion for UNIX system professionals preparing for both Solaris 8 System Administrator exams. The book contains accurate and efficient coverage of the many new features of the Solaris 8 system including new support for Ipv6, LDAP, and DHCP, installs using Solaris Web Start, new Universal Disk Format (UDF) file system support, Network Cache and Accelerator (NCA), Solaris Print Manager, and the new Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI). In addition to the technical content, the book includes sample questions and practice tests that are much like the format of the actual exams, sections on proven test-taking strategies, helpful memory joggers, and timesaving study tips and shortcuts.

About this title

From the Author

The Solaris 8 System Administration Exam Cram is intended as a study guide for Solaris system administrators and power users who wish to obtain the System Administrator certification. The material should be considered intermediate to advanced and assumes the reader has some basic Unix knowledge. This book describes the aspects of Solaris 8 system administration that are identified as the certification exam objectives. Although the material concentrates on these objectives, it also includes some other related and useful information. Both Part I and Part II exam objectives are covered.

I hope this study guide helps you prepare for and pass the two exams required for certification. As with any certification preparation, nothing beats hands-on experience. Get yourself a free copy of Solaris system (from Sun's web site) and try out the commands and operations as you study them. Also I reference other resources that provide different explanations or additional details. Make use of these printed and on-line resources as needed.

The material is presented in the Exam Cram format developed by The Coriolis Group. The book begins with an Introduction and Self-Assessment that provide guidance and references relating to the certification process and preparation. Related exam topics are grouped into chapters. Each chapter begins with a listing of the material covered and ends with a 8-10 question sample test followed by a list of additional resources. Both parts end with a full length practice exam.

Both the publisher and I have worked hard to make this book as complete and accurate as possible. Whether you purchase my book or not, good luck with obtaining the Solaris 8 System Administrator certification!
