Reviews for Solaris 10 System Administration Exam Prep: Exam CX-310-202 Part II

Good preparation text for Solaris 10 SCSA Part II
Rated out of 5 stars, March 12nd, 2010
I would thoroughly recommend this book as a study aid particular for the following:
a. The consistent and logical layout to each chapter.
b. The well thought out exercises (both 'Step by Step and 'Apply Your Knowledge').
c. The well placed and useful 'Notes', 'Cautions' and and 'Exam Alerts'.
d. The general depth of coverage in all chapters.
I would also recommend that anyone wishing to use this text should download and configure SUN's
VirtualBox software. This was invaluable in working through the Solaris 10 exercises involving
networks, multiple hosts and additional disk hardware.
On the down side
There are some mistakes within the text but they are largely forgiveable (given the depth of detail) except
for those in practice exam questions and their answers. The complimentary Exam Gear CD included contained
exactly the same practice exam as that printed in the main text and so was of very limited use. In my view
there are also too few scenario based test questions, and where they are included they are not searching
enough.
On a cautionary note
Before purchasing this text be aware that Oracle have indicated that in future SUN certification paths will
be aligned with their own and I can't help thinking this will effect in some way the coverage of this
certification exam. (The cost for the exam has already gone up !!!!!).
