Hewlett Packard - H5875S

Course Description

This fast-paced intensive course covers the differences of HP-UX from generic UNIX. It is essential that students have existing system administration experience on some version of UNIX, as this course does not cover the basics. A self-assessment check is available from our web site as a guide. The 5-day course is 50 percent lecture and 50 percent hands-on.

Intended Audience

Experienced UNIX System administrators who are new to HP-UX systems.
