Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to apply the enterprise-wide operating system to system automation in a distributed computing environment as used in network applications.It applies to network engineers who manage automated systems within a network and includes databases, files systems and user administration.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Prepare enterprise-wide operating systems
  • 1.1 Obtain work details and scope from relevant personnel and arrange for access to information and communications technology (ICT) systems applications in compliance with security arrangements, legislation, codes, regulations and standards
  • 1.2 Modify boot options and run enterprise-wide operating systems, according to agreed scope and organisational requirements
  • 1.3 Shutdown the scoped networked operating system according to organisational procedures
  • 1.4 Manage file commands and wildcards according to system requirements
  • 1.5 Identify system commands and mount and unmount file systems
  • 1.6 Verify the integrity of file systems and configure networking applications
  • 1.7 Analyse, evaluate and apply enterprise-wide operating system features to given networking multi-user applications
2. Apply system functions
  • 2.1 Utilise command line interfaces and interact with shells and commands to the networking application on distributed computing
  • 2.2 Manage files and apply regular expressions with system functions
  • 2.3 Identify text utilities and send text files and output streams
