Course Overview This fast-paced intensive course covers the differences of HP-UX from generic UNIX. It is essential that students have existing system administration experience on some version of UNIX, as this course does not cover the basics. A self-assessment check is available from our web site as a guide. The 5-day course is 50 percent lecture and 50 percent hands-on. This course has been classified as IT Technical Training. Audience Experienced UNIX System Administrators who are new to HP-UX systems. Prerequisites Existing knowledge and system administration experience of a version of UNIX. A self-assessment check is available from our web site as a guide. Course Outline Navigating SAM and the SMH - SAM and SMH overview
