Impact on the organization

This course is intended to develop the skills needed to extend, automate, and better secure an existing Red Hat Enterprise Linux deployment. It is designed as a natural extension of the RH124 course and introduces advanced file-system management capabilities, security controls, and firewall configuration.The skills developed in this course could lead to improved infrastructure performance, increased system utilization, and responsiveness to system failures. A better understanding of Linux file system and logical volume management should result in lower storage costs and better use of existing storage solutions.

Red Hat has created this course in a way intended to benefit our customers, but each company and infrastructure is unique, and actual results or benefits may vary.

Impact of this training

As a result of attending this course, students should be able to perform the key tasks needed to become a full-time Linux administrator. Students will be introduced to more advanced administrative topics, such as storage management using LVM, SELinux management, and automated installation. This course goes deeper into enterprise Linux administration, including file systems and partitioning, logical volumes, SELinux, firewall configuration, and troubleshooting.

Students should be able to demonstrate the following skills:

• Automate installations using Kickstart
• Manage file systems and logical volumes
• Manage scheduled jobs
• Access network file systems
• Manage SELinux
• Control firewalls
• Perform troubleshooting tasks
