002 - CX-310-200 Exam Objective

• 1.1 Explain the Solaris 10 OS installation and upgrade options for CD/DVD, including how to provide Minimal Installations for SPARC, x64, and x86-based systems.
  
• 1.2 Perform an OS installation from CD / DVD for SPARC, x64, and x86-based systems.
• 2.1 Explain the Solaris 10 OS directory hierarchy, including root subdirectories, file components, and file types, and create and remove hard and symbolic links.
• 2.2 Explain disk architecture including the UFS file system capabilities and naming conventions for devices for SPARC, x64, and x86-based systems.
• 2.3 Use the prtconf and format commands to list devices, explain critical issues of the /etc/path_to_inst file, and reconfigure devices by performing a reconfiguration boot or using the devfsadm command for SPARC, x64, and x86-based systems.
• 2.4 Given a scenario, partition a disk correctly using the appropriate files, commands, and options, and manage disk labels using SMI and EFI labels as they relate to disk sets.
• 2.5 Explain the Solaris 10 OS file system, including disk-based, distributed, devfs, and memory file systems related to SMF, and create a new UFS file system using options for <> 1Tbyte file systems.
• 2.6 Given a scenario, check and resolve Solaris 10 OS file system inconsistencies using fsck, and monitor file system usage using the command line (df, du, and quot commands).
• 2.7 Perform mounts and unmounts on a Solaris 10 OS file system, and use volume management to access mounted diskettes and CD-ROMs, restrict access, troubleshoot volume management problems, and explain access methods without volume management.
• 2.8 Perform Solaris 10 OS package administration using command-line interface commands and manage software patches for the Solaris OS, including preparing for patch administration and installing and removing patches using the patchadd and patchrm commands.
• 3.1 Given a scenario, explain boot PROM fundamentals, including OpenBoot Architecture Standard, boot PROM, NVRAM, POST, Abort Sequence, and displaying POST to serial port for SPARC.
• 3.2 Given a scenario, explain the BIOS settings for booting, abort sequence, and displaying POST, including BIOS configuration for x64 and x86-based system.
• 3.3 Execute basic boot PROM commands for a SPARC system.
• 3.4 Use the Xorg configuration files or kdmconfig utility to configure the keyboard, display, and mouse devices for an x64 and x86 based system.
• 3.5 Perform system boot and shutdown procedures, including identifying the system's boot device, creating and removing custom device aliases, viewing and changing NVRAM parameters, and interrupting an unresponsive system.
• 3.6 Explain the Service Management Facility and the phases of the boot process.
• 3.7 Use SMF or legacy commands and scripts to control both the boot and shutdown procedures.
• 4.1 Explain and perform Solaria 10 OS user administration, and manage user accounts and initialization files.
• 4.2 Monitor system access by using appropriate commands.
• 4.3 Perform system security by switching users on a system, and by becoming root and monitoring su attempts.
• 4.4 Control system security through restricting ftp access and using /etc/hosts.equiv and $HOME/ .rhosts files, and SSH fundamentals.
• 4.5 Restrict access to data in files through the use of group membership, ownership, and special file permissions.
• 5.1 Configure and administer Solaris 10 OS print services, including client and server configuration, starting and stopping the LP print service, specifying a destination printer, and using the LP print service.
• 5.2 Control system processes by viewing the processes, clearing frozen processes, and scheduling automatic one-time and recurring execution of commands using the command line
• 6.1 Given a scenario, develop a strategy for scheduled backups, and backup an unmounted file system using the appropriate commands.
• 6.2 Perform Solaris 10 OS file system restores using the appropriate commands, including restoring a regular file system, the /usr file system, the /(root) file system, and performing interactive and incremental restores for SPARC, x64, and x86 based systems.
• 6.3 Backup a mounted file system by creating a UFS snapshot and performing a backup of the snapshot file.
• 6.4 Restore data from a UFS snapshot and delete the UFS snapshot.
