Duration: 5 Days
In this course, you will learn to administer and manage the HP NonStop NB-series server. You will cover how to start, monitor, and shut down your system and its subsystems and how to identify and resolve common problems. You will learn how to make alterations to the server configuration and to fall back from changes made to a previous configuration. Where resolution is unsuccessful, you will be able to escalate to the appropriate service provider with suitable supporting information. You will spend approximately 30 percent of class in hands-on labs using HP servers.
