→‎Subject Description
== Subject Description ==
This subject is a continuation of SYA710. Students In this course, students will continue their exploration of various Linux technologies. Particular attention will be paid to server-class complete the Open Source projects started in the first semester (or new projects, if the first projects are complete) and learn system configurationand tuning techniques. Where possible, Fedora Core will be the Linux distribution of choice in this course
=== Credit Status ===
Upon successful completion of this subject students should be able to:
* Configure, use, and manage Logical Volume Management* Configure, use, and manage RAID arrays* Configure, use, and manage USB devices* Understand the basic principles of Storage Area Networks* Configureadvanced storage solutions, useincluding RAID arrays, SANs, and manage iSCSI targets and initiatorsmulti-layered storage
* Understand Linux memory management
* Monitor and improve system performance
* Create and use Linux software installation packages (RPMs)* Design and implement effective backup and recovery strategies* Configure, use, and manage Virtual Machines (using Xen, KVM, or other technologies)Collaborate with an Open Source community
