1. Does anyone know a source of sample 2.6 exams other than Sun?

Hello,
I had the Solaris Admin 2.5.1 and Solaris Admin 7 part I.If you have
the
training course material for Solaris Admin,it'll cover most of the exam
objectives and reading it is enough to pass at leat part I.

Rosli,
Try out the book "Solaris 2.6 Administrator Certification Training
Guide
Part I"
of Bill Calkins. It also contains a CD with sample exam questions.
ISBN: 1-57870-085

I've taken the first exam and am preparing for the second exam.
I'm using the Sun JavaTutor course to prepare and didn't have any formal
training on part 1.
Since there are 4000 plus questions which get spun up the moment just
prior
to taking the test, it's anyone's guess what focus your specific test
will
be concentrated in.
You basically have to know everything in the JT2010-2013 series.

Hope some of them help.

If you want to take a system admin quiz, I have one online at my site
at
www.sunguru.com. It will help you practice for the test. I will also
have an
E10k test online hopefully by this weekend. Let me know how it works
for
you.

Barnes and Nobles has it for about $40, or you can order it through the
net for
approx. $28.. I can't remember the website I ordered mine through, but
it is
out there...

The exams seem to be right out of the class books. If they are
available,
just read through them. The only generalities I remember is that there
were
a lot of questions on jumpstart, down to the detail of knowing which
position meant what in the rules file. I thought that was silly. And
there
wree some very specific questions on the boot process.
Good luck!

I just passed the Solaris Sysadmin II test (210-018) last Friday. I
did not
take the Sun class. I found Janice Winsor's two books on Solaris System
Administration published by Macmillan Technical Publishing to be
useful. I
also went down the test objectives one by one and located the manual
information athttp://docs.sun.com . Hope this helps.

Study the course material for the exam.
I remember, just barely, that the 2.6 exam covered a lot of basic system
admin stuff. Specifically, I remember there being questions on the
service access control facility, printing, user admin via the command
line, and some basic disk stuff. I don't remember what else was on it
though. I took it about two years ago and it may have changed since
then.
I do remember that on the second exam, 310-009 I think, there is a lot
of stuff on disk geometry, NIS and NIS+ (about a fourth of the test I
took), advanced user administration, access control lists, some NFS
stuff - not much, and more advanced administration.
The network admin test was much harder than the system admin tests were.
I studied all of the administration manuals for TCP/IP, mail, DNS, NFS,
and the like. I remember there being a lot of sendmail, routing
(RIP/RDISC), and general protocol questions covering ARP/RARP, UDP/TCP,
IP/ICMP. There were also some questions about what OSI and TCP/IP model
layers coincided. Plus there were hardware/topology questions like what
layer does a bridge operate at, what layer does a router operate at.
I don't believe there is a source of sample exams from anyone other than
Sun.
Good luck.
