Study Strategies

The following strategies will help you prepare for the test:

• As you study this chapter, the main objective is to become comfortable with the terms and concepts that are introduced.

• For this chapter it's important that you practice, on a Solaris system (ideally with more than one disk), each step-by-step and each command that is presented. Practice is very important on these topics, so you should practice until you can repeat each procedure from memory.

• Be sure that you understand the levels of RAID discussed and the differences between them.

• Be sure that you know all of the terms listed in the "Key Terms" section at the end of this chapter. Pay special attention to metadevices and the different types that are available.
