Enterprise Linux Deployment, Virtualization, and Systems Management

Enterprise Linux Deployment, Virtualization, and Systems Management is a 5-day intensive hands-on lab course in skills and methods critical to large-scale deployment and management of mission-critical Enterprise Linux systems using the Network Satellite Server; provisioning systems using the Network Satellite Server, custom software channels, custom configuration channels, and kickstart; configuration of monitoring probes using the Network Satellite Server; construction and deployment of custom RPMs; use of DHCP and PXE boot for deployment; use of CVS for managing configuration files; preservation of kernel crash dumps using the network crash dump system.

Persons taking this course will learn how to implement and manage Enterprise Linux deployments efficiently and effectively in ways that make the entire enterprise deployment manageable by a team. They will learn to install and deploy a Network Satellite Server and use this server to keep a range of systems up to date; to provision new systems; to monitor existing systems. With the satellite server, they will learn to create custom software channels and custom configuration channels. Finally, they will learn to create a netdump server that collects kernel core dumps from many systems, saving them to a single system.

Audience

This course is aimed at senior Enterprise Linux system administrators and other IT professionals working in enterprise environments and mission-critical systems.
