Introduction:
 
This course quickly and efficiently covers many of the hands-on, practical skills needed when migrating from Solaris to Red Hat Enterprise Linux. With a focus on the differences between the two operating systems, you will examine Red Hat Enterprise Linux equivalents to Solaris-specific technologies, such as applying software patches, automated deployment with Jumpstart, and advanced filesystem features. In addition, you will learn how to use RPM, yum, the Red Hat Network (RHN), and Kickstart to manage your environment. You will acquire and set Linux kernel tunables, explore and configure the many supported hardware devices available from multiple vendors, and secure your users and services. Upon completion of this course, you will have the knowledge and skillset to take RH253 Red Hat Linux Networking and Security Administration or RH300, the RHCE Rapid Track course.

This class leverages existing UNIX-based skills to build RHEL expertise.
 
Audience:
 
  • Solaris or UNIX system administrations with intermediate to advanced skill
  • Experienced Solaris system administrators transitioning to a Red Hat Enterprise Linux platform
  • Solaris administrators who are contemplating a migration to Red Hat Enterprise Linux and want to understand the difference in skillset that will be required
