The Solaris Resource Manager/Solaris Bandwidth Manager Administration course provides students with the essential knowledge and skills needed to administer Solaris Resource Manager (SRM) and Solaris Bandwidth Manager (SBM) software tools. These tools help customers maximize the value of their information technology investments by increasing and prioritizing hardware and bandwidth utilization. The course provides comprehensive coverage of both products, including installation, configuration, administration, operation, reporting, and troubleshooting.

If you are running the Solaris 9 Operating Environment (Solaris OE), the appropriate course for the SRM is ES-431, Solaris 9 Resource Manager Administration
