Product Description

This book is designed to cover three objectives. One, to provide a comprehensive resource to individuals (including novice, IT/Non-HP-UX administrators, HP-UX administrators) who intend to take the Certified System Administrator for HP-UX certification exam and pass it. Two, to provide a quick and valuable on-the-job resource to HP-UX administrators, administrators of other UNIX operating system software, IT managers, programmers, and DBAs working in the HP-UX environment. Three, to provide an easy-to-understand guide to novice and IT/non-HP-UX administrators who intend to learn HP-UX from the beginning. This book contains 33 chapters. The book is organized in such a way that it helps its audience understand concepts, implementation procedures, some basic troubleshooting, command syntax, configuration files, and daemons involved. There are three key areas: UNIX fundamentals, HP-UX system administration, and HP-UX network administration. 1. UNIX Fundamentals covers the basics of UNIX. Most information is not specific to a particular UNIX flavor, but rather includes general UNIX concepts, file manipulation and security techniques, shell and awk programming, vi editor, basic commands, and other topics. Chapters 01 through 06 and chapter 21 cover this area. Unlike many other similar books, a chapter on shell scripting is presented after covering HP-UX System Administration chapters. This is done intentionally to provide readers with some practical examples based on the knowledge they have gained from UNIX Fundamentals and HP-UX System Administration chapters. 2. HP-UX System Administration covers the HP-UX-specific system administration concepts and topics including HP-UX installation methods; software and patch management; user and group account administration; disk and device file management; LVM and file system administration; swap space and printer management; system startup and shutdown procedures; kernel reconfiguration techniques; backup, restore, and system recovery functions; job automation and process control; system logging and performance monitoring; and so on. Chapters 07 through 20 cover this area. 3. HP-UX Network Administration covers HP-UX network administration concepts and topics such as OSI and TCP/IP models; network hardware overview; LAN card administration; IP subnetting and routing techniques; network troubleshooting tools; system startup services; naming services such as DNS, NIS, and LDAP; File sharing tools viz. NFS and AutoFS; Time synchronization using NTP; internet services administration; BootP/TFTP services; system security; and so on. Chapters 22 through 33 cover this area. The beginning of each chapter highlights objectives covered. The end of each chapter includes a summary as to what is learnt in the chapter. Throughout the book tables, figures, screen shots, and examples are given to explain concepts and tasks. The output generated as a result of running commands is highlighted in light grey background to differentiate it with surrounding text. The book includes several appendices one of which contains more than 550 practice exam questions. Tables of commands, important files, and service daemons are included in separate appendices.

5.0 out of 5 stars Certainly the best book for HP-UX exam, March 8, 2007
I already passed my CSA exam using another book written by Rafeeq Rheman. I bought this book for 2 reasons. The first reason is I need something to refresh knowledge before I take on the next level of the track which is CSE. The second reason is I wanted to add this book to my collection of UNIX/Linux system administration books.
It turned out I made a good choice. The book is really good. Chapters are short and go straight to the essentials. The book covers well the Networking, security, and LDAP section. Those are the tricky areas of the exam. LDAP was not covered in the Rafeeq's book but this book does the job. If I have to choose between this book and the Rafeeq, I will go for this book. The reasons are the following:

Pros:
The book covers all the topic on the exam
Chapter talk about the essential and important topic.
Some screenshots, if you are not familiar with the HP-UX gui.
The book has 564 practice exam questions, enough to put your brain to test.

Cons:
Perhaps the book layout but does not affect the topic at all and a few inconsistencies as expected.

My advice if you have the means get this book and the Rafeeq book to maximize your chance of succes on the exam. I give 5 stars.
