how to certify for e10k or f15k high-end Sun servers (310-615/310-620) 1

[balazs2934]

Hi,

is there anyone out there with some idea how one can get certified for sun fire f15k (fire 15000, plus 12k/20k/25k) and enterprise e10k (enterprise e10000)? I know that there are some Sun-Prometric exams for these:

310-615 EDS Certified Sun Fire 15K Server Administrator
310-620 EDS Certified Sun Enterprise 10K Server Administrator

When I tried to get some info on these, Sun simple rejected the request and their people said that these certifications and exams for EDS employees only.

Anyone who done these exams or have any info on them?
(pre-req, objectives, go-nogo criteria etc)

thanks in advance.

Hi Franz,

thanks for the comments. Actually I was already aware of the training and already read through the training guides. What I really would like to go for is the Prometric certification/exam (310-615, 310-620). Sun did not answer the questions regarding those certifications (actually, both the Americans and the local Sun people failed to respond...) The Sun people sort of redirected me to EDS (as these cert's are for EDS employees ???) but not even EDS guys know anything about these exams.

As I was not able to find any info on the exams (neither from Sun's public home page, nor from Sun's Partner web pages, nor from the

http://www.2test.com

Prometric page where the above exams are referred to, nor from Sun or EDS people), it will not be easy to prepare for those exams and succeed... :-(

Jonapot geza, i think i cannot realy help you in preparing to the exam...

did you talk to Comparex Germany? Afaik they are in good connections to Sun Germany, maybe they can help.

I recently found out email is not the prefered communication method in most companies; most of them still prefere phone calls, so I suggest to call Sun Hungary.

I was in Hungary 4 times but I no not remember very much Hungarian... (3 times in the early '80ties with my parents, early '90ies with my fiance - today my wife - by bike; we cycled along river Donau till about Bratislava and then crosscountry western Hungary - Gyoer - Balaton/Bakony - Sekesvehevar - Budapest; I enjoyed it very much!)

Dear Franz,
Kedves Franz!

thanks for the advises.
Koeszoenoem a tana'csokat. (Köszönöm a tanácsokat.)

It is nice to hear that you were quite a few times in Hungary and liked the place.
Jo' hallani, hogy ma'r toebbszoer ja'rta'l Magyarorsza'gon e's tetszett a hely.
(Jó hallani, hogy már többször jártál Magyarországon és tetszett a hely.)

Regards,
Uedvoezlettel: (Üdvözlettel

Ge'za Bala'zs (Géza Balázs)

or, as you may remember the strange Hungarian habit of reverse order of names:

Balázs Géza (Bala'zs Ge'za) (since our "first name", e.g. Ge'za, is our last name and our "last name", e.g. Bala'zs, is our first name in Hungary)

PS: I met a German guy from Legato a few weeks ago and he noticed that Hungarian language is (or sounds) similar to Turkish. (It can be bacause of quite a few words of Turk origin. It is also true that as a matter of the origin of the language itself Hungarian is related to Finnish, Esthonian and co, even if we can not understand a single word.)
Unfortunately my knowledge of the German language is quite limited so I was not really able to respond in a nice German-speaking e-mail

Some further useful words:
Ke'rem (Kérem) = Please
Jo' (Jó) reggelt / Jó napot / Jó este't (estét) / Jó e'jszaka't (éjszakát) = Guten Morgen / Guten Tag / Guten Abend / Gute Nacht

and many more to come...

Kedves Balasz,

>> or, as you may remember the strange Hungarian habit of reverse order of names:

this is very similar to Bavarian, we say Putz Franz, but in "high German" we say Firstname Lastname...
I had a colleague with Hungarian roots his name is Laszlo Zoltan, but since these are two "Firstnames" he was used to being called both names... ;-)

We (Hungarian and Bavarian) have another strong connection: Eszebeth was born quite close to Munich in a small Town at Lake Starnberg; i did not know that she was realy so popular in Hungary till i was in Budapest: Eszebeth Statues, Eszebeth hid, ....

Üdvözlettel
Franz

Dear Franz,

interesting, my name is also a "double first name": Balazs is my surname (last name) which is the Hungarian version of Blasius (Blaise, Biaggio etc), while Geza is my first name (given name) which is quite Hungarian and does not really have an equivalent in other European languages (actually Geza comes to Hungarian from very ancient, archaic Turk, originally from Persian...) It was quite a funny situation a few years ago at my previous job that in the narrower workplace environment (in the department) there were four people (out of 20-30-40) including me with these "double first names" which is actually not that very common...

Did you mean Sissy the Queen from the 19th century? Yes, she was very popular and beloved and actually in Hungarian we also call her Sissy and her official translated name Erzse'bet is not really used. I think the "Erzse'bet" hi'd (bridge) was not named after her since in the early communist days when the bridge was built (mid 1950's ?) and named, the royals and the Habsburg dynasty was officially "undesirable". (I do not think that the bridge is named after a particular person called Erzsebet but rather given a very popular female name. My other guess - Saint Erzsebet, a popular Hungarian saint from the Middle Ages - is also improbable because of the circumstances and era of the naming of the bridge.)

Hi Balazs,

I just googled for the "Budapest Elisabeth Brücke", some link says the Bridge was finished in 1903 and was named after the Queen Sissi (she signed her letters with "Sisi", some popular German Movie with Rommy Schneider and Karl-Heinz Böhm were named "Sissi"); the original bridge was destroyed during war and was rebuilt in the same place but different construction, finished 1963, I think even the communists were afraid changing the name. ;-)
Afaik there is a Sissy Statue at the Buda side of the river close to the bridge - but as I told you, I was there about 10 years ago, my memories may tell me wrong...

See you
Franz
