Advanced Solutions for Linux on z Systems (SuSE)

This course provides the knowledge to prepare Linux on System z for production. You customize z/VM for Linux, install Linux, define network connections and define VSWITCH. You create different types of log file systems and Logical Volume Manager. The security topic deals with alternative authentication methods and explains how to strengthen Linux security. You apply various security measures. You create Linux clones, as well as shared VM segments for the Linux kernel. Topics also include Linux clusters and data backup methods. Finally, you install and use Webmin to perform administrative tasks and use other tools to measure performance.
