HPE NonStop Server Administration II

This HPE NonStop Administration course is the second of three courses to make you familiar with administering an HPE NonStop System. In this 5 day class we build on the basic skills acquired in the first class, giving a more detailed knowledge of monitoring the system, with a strong emphasis on problem recognition, reporting and resolution, including escalation where necessary. The course is 60% lecture and 40% hands on labs using HPE servers.

After you successfully complete this course, expect to be able to:

• Provide an overview of the NonStop series server.
• Describe computing environments and operator tasks
• Provide an overview of OSM, TACL, and SCF.
• Demonstrate the use of TACL, FUP, and SCF commands
