Course Description:
Red Hat System Administration II (RH134) is designed for IT professionals working to become full-time enterprise
Linux system administrators. Building on the foundation of command line skills covered in Red Hat System
Administration I, students will dive deeper into Red Hat Enterprise Linux to broaden their toolkits of administration skills. By the end of this course, students will be able to administer and troubleshoot file systems and partitioning, logical volume management, access control, and package management.
Students who complete Red Hat System Administration I and II will be fully prepared to take the Red Hat
Certified System Administration (RHCSA) exam.
Note: This course is intended to be taken following Red Hat System Administration I and does not cover all
RHCSA exam tasks. Students with solid Linux command line skills seeking to take only one course before attempting the RHCSA exam should consider the RHCSA Rapid Track Course (RH200).
