RH 401 - RH401 Red Hat Enterprise Deployment and Systems Management
RH401 Red Hat Enterprise Deployment and Systems Management is a 4-day intensive hands-on lab course
in skills and methods critical to large-scale deployment and management of mission-critical Red Hat
Linux systems, including Red Hat Advanced Server, failover and load-balancing; cvs for system
administrators; RPM rebuilding,and performance tuning for specific applications.
Goal:
RH401 is designed to train people with RHCE level competency on skills required to deploy and manage
Red Hat systems to enterprise standards of reliability, availability, scalability and manageability
(RASM). Central to the course is hands-on training in the high availability and load-balancing
capabilities of Red Hat Linux Advanced Server.
Persons taking RH401 will learn how to implement and manage enterprise Red Hat Linux deployments
efficiently and effectively in ways that make the entire enterprise deployment manageable by a team.
Red Hat's RHCE training and certification progran provides fundamental skills and knowledge required
by IT professionals who are deploying Red Hat Linux Advanced Server in enterprise environments. RH401
goes further in that it trains senior system administrators to manage large numbers of Red Hat servers
in a variety of roles, and/or manage Red Hat Advanced Server(s) for mission-critical applications that
require failover and load-balancing.
RH401 is benchmarked on expert level competencies in managing operating systems for enterprise roles.
Prerequisites:
RH401 requires RHCE-level skills. The RHCE certificate on 7.1 or higher is recommended but not required.
Prerequisite skills can be evidenced by passing the RHCE Exam in either RH302,
RH300, or by taking RH253
or comparable skills and knowledge.
Note: Persons should not enroll in RH401 without meeting the above prerequisites. All prospective
course participants who do not possess RHCE certification are strongly advised to contact Red Hat Global
Learning Services for a skills assessment when they enroll.
