Course Summary
RH401 Red Hat Enterprise Deployment, Virtualisation, 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. This class focuses on the use of the Red Hat Network, including the Red Hat Network Satellite Server as a deployment method, and the use of Virtualisation technology as a key deployment tool.
Subject covered include: installing and managing a Red Hat Network Satellite Server; provisioning systems using RHN, DHCP, and PXE; understanding the Red Hat Network Proxy Server; building RPMS; using version control systems.
In addition, a substantial part of the class is dedicated to the use of Virtualisation in deployment. Virtualisation topics include: an overview of virtualisation; installing, configuring, and managing virtual machines; understanding the hypervisor; virtual machine snapshots; network configuration with virtualisation.
This course is based on RHN Satellite 5.2.

Goal:
RH401 is designed to train people with RHCE level competency on skills required to deploy and manage Red Hat systems to enterprise standards of reliability, availability, scalability and manageability.
Central to the course is hands-on training in the use of the Red Hat Network Satellite Server for deployment, provisioning, and monitoring of Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems; and the use of Virtualisation as a critical technology in systems deployment.
Persons taking RH401 will learn how to implement and manage Red Hat Enterprise Linux deployments efficiently and effectively in ways that make the entire enterprise deployment manageable by a team. They will learn to install and deploy a Red Hat Network Satellite Server and use this server to keep a range of systems up to date; to provision new systems; to monitor existing systems. With the satellite server, they will learn to create custom software channels and custom configuration channels. They will learn to use the Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) to create their own RPMs, and manage the RPMs using CVS and using the Red Hat Satellite Server. They will learn to create a netdump server that collects kernel core dumps from many systems, saving them to a single system.
Finally, participants will learn to use virtual machine technology, permitting multiple host operating systems to run on a single hardware platform. They will learn how virtualisation works, including the purpose and function of the virtualisation hypervisor; how to install, configure, and manage virtual machines; how to take snapshots of virtual systems; and how to configure networking, including private networks, masquerading, and physical network separation.
