Sun Educational Services—Instructor-led Course Description
Sun Fire™ Workgroup/Enterprise Server Maintenance SM-340 The Sun Fire™ Workgroup/Enterprise Server Maintenance course provides students with the information and skills necessary to install, configure, and maintain the Sun Fire™ 280R, Sun Fire ™ 3800, Sun Fire ™ 4800, Sun Fire™ 4810, and Sun Fire™ 6800 workgroup-to-midrange servers. Additionally, students learn to diagnose, remove, replace, and troubleshoot hardware, software, and firmware issues on these servers.
Who can benefit Students who can benefit from this course are field service engineers, enterprise system network engineers, and anyone responsible for maintaining workgroup-to-midrange networked database servers.
Prerequisites To succeed fully in this course, students should be able to: • Understand server hardware maintenance strategies • Understand concurrent maintenance concepts • Demonstrate common SolarisTM Operating Environment skills, such as logging in to the system, working with directories, and displaying files • Assemble, troubleshoot, and replace field-replaceable units (FRUs) for workgroup-tomidrange server systems
Skills gained Upon completion of this course, students should be able to: • Describe the architecture, functional goals, models, and advanced reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) of Sun’s workgroup-to-midrange servers • Install, configure, connect, and start the servers • Configure an administrative workstation • Identify part, serial, and revision numbers of components and subcomponents • Remove and install FRUs • Set up and verify platform configuration parameters using the system controller • Create multiple segments and domains using hardware, system configuration, and access control lists (ACLs) • Perform flash programmable read-only memory (PROM) image updates • Use OpenBootTM programmable read-only memory (OBP) commands and interpret the results • Define and alter nonvolatile random access memory (NVRAM) parameters • Configure devices in the Solaris Operating Environment
