Red Hat ® RH401 Training Class Enterprise Deployment, Virtualization, and Systems Management
 Training Course Description
RH401 now has expanded deployment and monitoring coverage!
Clustering material moved to RH436
The RH401 course has been modified to focus more closely on deployment and systems management. As a result, course material on clustering has been removed from this course and moved to RH436.
RH401 now includes expanded material on the use of the Red Hat Network Satellite Server, including expanded coverage of the Red Hat Network Proxy Server; new material on
monitoring using the Red Hat Network Satellite Server; and the use of DHCP and PXE boot for deployment.
In addition, the RH401 course now includes a technology preview of the Xen virtualization system using Fedora Core 5.
These changes are now in effect in North America. For the expected dates of changes in other locations, please contact your local Red Hat office.
RH401 Red Hat Enterprise Deployment, Virtualization, and Systems Management is a 4-day intensive hands-on lab course in skills and methods critical to large-scale deployment
and management of mission-critical Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems using the Red Hat Network and the Red Hat Network Satellite Server; provisioning systems using the Red Hat
Network Satellite Server, custom software channels, custom configuration channels, and kickstart; configuration of monitoring probes using the Red Hat Network Satellite Server;
construction and deployment of custom RPMs; use of DHCP and PXE boot for deployment; use of CVS for managing configuration files; preservation of kernel crash dumps using the network crash dump system
Audience:
RH401 is aimed at senior Red Hat Enterprise Linux system administrators and other IT professionals working in enterprise environments and mission-critical systems. 
Prerequisites:
RH401 requires RHCE-level skills. The RHCE certification on 7.1 or higher is recommended but not required. Prerequisite skills can be evidenced by passing the RHCE Exam in either RH302, RH300, or by taking RH253 or comparable skills and knowledge.
