| Tru64 UNIX v5.x Performance Management |
| The Tru64 UNIX V5 Performance Management course is designed for individuals with experience managing a Compaq Tru64 UNIX V5 operating system and who are interested in learning how to manage performance of their systems in a Compaq Tru64 UNIX V5 environment. |
| |
| Who Should Attend |
| This course is designed for UNIX system administrators who are interested in the advanced topic of system performance. |
| |
| Prerequisites |
To get the most from this course, students should
be able to:
- Install the Compaq Tru64 UNIX V5 operating system
software and software subsets
- Add and remove users from the system
- Start up and shut down the operating system in
single and multi-user mode
- Customize the system configuration file and build
a new kernel
- Create, mount, and backup file systems
- Use the emacs, vi, ex, or ed editor
These prerequisites can be obtained by taking the
following course sequence:
- TP100 Unix Fundamentals
- TP200 Tru64 UNIX System
Administration
Six months experience managing a Compaq Tru64 UNIX
V5 system is also recommended |
