Solaris 10 System Administration - Part II Solaris 10 System Administration - Part II Duration: 5 Days Course Code: SSA2 Overview: This Solaris System Administration training course will provide delegates with practical experience of configuring various aspects of a Oracle Solaris system up to and including Solaris version 10. This course extends the skills a delegate will have gained from attending the Solaris System Administration - Part 1 course. Delegates will cover more specialised tasks such as managing the system log and configuring remote file sharing with NFS whilst gaining the key skills required to prepare for the Oracle Solaris 10 System Administrator Certified Professional Part II exam (1Z0-878) . Target Audience: This Solaris 10 System Administration - Part II course is aimed at IT staff responsible for administering a networked server in a local area network,running the Oracle Solaris operating environment. It will extend their skills beyond basic administration tasks. Objectives: Administering Solaris systems involves many specialised tasks including; monitoring system events with syslog,performing network installations,dealing with various aspects of the network environment and assigning system roles to users. Delegates taking this class will gain the necessary knowledge and skills to perform these tasks. Prerequisites: Attendance on the Solaris Introduction and Solaris 10 System Administration - Part I courses or similar knowledge is required. Shell Programming knowledge is beneficial but not essential. This skill can be gained by attending the Solaris Shell Programming course.

  • A Survey of Distributed File Systems
    A Survey of Distributed File Systems M. Satyanarayanan Department of Computer Science Carnegie Mellon University February 1989 Abstract Abstract This paper is a survey of the current state of the art in the design and implementation of distributed file systems. It consists of four major parts: an overview of background material, case studies of a number of contemporary file systems, identification of key design techniques, and an examination of current research issues. The systems surveyed are Sun NFS, Apollo Domain, Andrew, IBM AIX DS, AT&T RFS, and Sprite. The coverage of background material includes a taxonomy of file system issues, a brief history of distributed file systems, and a summary of empirical research on file properties. A comprehensive bibliography forms an important of the paper. Copyright (C) 1988,1989 M. Satyanarayanan The author was supported in the writing of this paper by the National Science Foundation (Contract No. CCR-8657907), Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Order No. 4976, Contract F33615-84-K-1520) and the IBM Corporation (Faculty Development Award).

Introduction The sharing of data in distributed systems is already common and will become pervasive as these systems grow in scale and importance. Each user in a distributed system is potentially a creator as well as a consumer of data. A user may wish to make his actions contingent upon information from a remote site, or may wish to update remote information.

  • Chapter 1 – 15 Essay Question Review
    Chapter 1 – 15 Essay Question Review Chapter 1 1. Explain why an operating system can be viewed as a resource allocator. Ans: A computer system has many resources that may be required to solve a problem: CPU time, memory space, file-storage space, I/O devices, and so on. The operating system acts as the manager of these resources. Facing numerous and possibly conflicting requests for resources, the operating system must decide how to allocate them to specific programs and users so that it can operate the computer system efficiently and fairly. Feedback: 1.1.2 2. Explain the purpose of an interrupt vector. Ans: The interrupt vector is merely a table of pointers to specific interrupt-handling routines. Because there are a fixed number of interrupts, this table allows for more efficient handling of the interrupts than with a general-purpose, interrupt-processing routine. Feedback: 1.2.1 3. What is a bootstrap program, and where is it stored? Ans: A bootstrap program is the initial program that the computer runs when it is powered up or rebooted. It initializes all aspects of the system, from CPU registers to device controllers to memory contents. Typically, it is stored in read-only memory (ROM) or electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), known by the general term firmware, within the computer hardware. Feedback: 1.2.1 4. What role do device controllers and device drivers play in a computer system? Ans: A general-purpose computer system consists of CPUs and multiple device controllers that are connected through a common bus.

  • File-System Interface
    C H A P T E R File -System 11 Interface For most users, the file system is the most visible aspect of an operating system. It provides the mechanism for on-line storage of and access to both data and programs of the operating system and all the users of the computer system. The file system consists of two distinct parts: a collection of files, each storing related data, and a directory structure, which organizes and provides information about all the files in the system. File systems live on devices, which we described in the preceding chapter and will continue to discuss in the following one. In this chapter, we consider the various aspects of files and the major directory structures. We also discuss the semantics of sharing files among multiple processes, users, and computers. Finally, we discuss ways to handle file protection, necessary when we have multiple users and we want to control who may access files and how files may be accessed. CHAPTER OBJECTIVES • To explain the function of file systems. • To describe the interfaces to file systems. • To discuss file-system design tradeoffs, including access methods, file sharing, file locking, and directory structures. • To explore file-system protection. 11.1 File Concept Computers can store information on various storage media, such as magnetic disks, magnetic tapes, and optical disks. So that the computer system will be convenient to use, the operating system provides a uniform logical view of stored information. The operating system abstracts from the physical properties of its storage devices to define a logical storage unit, the file .
