AFS System Administrator Training
---------------------------------
Target Audience: UNIX professionals involved in configuring or
administering an AFS-based distributed computing environment.
Prerequisites: Working knowledge of administering a UNIX environment,
along with user-level knowledge of AFS.
Abstract:
The AFS System Administrator Training course will cover those topics
key to administering an AFS environment. The course starts by
detailing some of the factors that determine how an initial AFS site
should be configured, along with machine requirements for AFS servers
and clients. Following this is an overview of basic AFS commands. The
course then progresses to detailed instructions on performing the
primary administrative tasks in an AFS environment: managing client
machines, managing file servers, starting and controlling file server
processes, performing volume operations, performing system
administration tasks (including the AFS Backup System, the Scout
server monitoring tool, the uss utility for creating user accounts and
the Package utility for updating client machines).
The course also provides information on referencing information in the
AFS set of manuals, mechanisms for working with AFS customer support and
installation procedures for AFS.
