Good news!  We just finished exam development and beta delivery for Administration of High Availability Solutions for UNIX using Veritas Cluster Server 5.0.  The final published exam will be available for registration with Prometric March 13th or sooner. 

 

Stay tuned to Symantec Certification March 17th for a newly designed website, including full curriculum paths.  In the meantime, below represents suggested preparation for the VCS 5.0 exam.

 

Although each product varies in complexity and depth of technical knowledge, all Symantec Certified Specialist certification exams, that target customers in an administrative role, cover core elements measuring technical knowledge against factors such as installation, configuration, product administration, and day-to-day maintenance.

 

The program consists of the Veritas Cluster Server technical exam at a product/version level that validates that the successful candidate has important knowledge and skills necessary to plan, install, implement, and maintain Veritas Cluster Server 5.0 on a UNIX platform.

 

To achieve this level of certification, candidates must pass the technical exam and accept the Symantec Certification Agreement.
