Course Overview This course package is a combination of the web-based Sun SPARC Enterprise MX000 Server Overview and Architecture course (WE-4110), the instructor-led Sun SPARC Enterprise MX000 Server Administration course (ES-411), and their associated web-based assessments (WGS-PREX-4110 and WGS-PREX-411). The web-based course is pre-requisite training to the instructor-led course, and the assessments are a post-requisite to the courses and allows a student to assess their knowledge and skills. The Sun SPARC Enterprise MX000 Server Overview and Architecture course provides students with the skill set necessary to identify the features and architecture specifics of the Sun SPARC Enterprise MX000 servers. The Sun SPARC Enterprise MX000 Server Administration course provides students with the skill set necessary to administer the Sun SPARC Enterprise M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000/M9000+ servers. These skills include performing configuration and platform administration methodologies supported by Sun and being familiar with and using troubleshooting tools and techniques available within the Solaris Operating System (Solaris OS) relevant to this server line. The hands-on labs offered in this course might involve accessing equipment that resides at a location other than where the training is delivered.
