How many unassigned LUNs / Harddisks

[A. Clay Stephenson]

Here's a good place to start:
http://education.hp.com/curr-unix.htm

Docs.hp.com also has a wealth of information but a training class or three is ideal because you will be able to do all sorts of damage on someone else's boxes and with non-critical data.

In addition to training and books the best suggestion I can give you is to talk your company into buying a Sandbox. You should be able to find a used HP server very cheaply and you can then learn to load and patch the OS, build filesystems, do LVM tasks, etc. in a completely safe environment. Anything I do that I am not completely confident of, I always first do it on my Sandboxes. Sandboxes are where you first deploy patches even before loading them into the Test environment.

Hi,

Here are plenty of docs to go through. But do not apply these immediately to your running boxes with critical data. Spare some machine for hands on practice of major administrative tasks and off course undergo some basic trainning.
