The first level is the HP-UX Certified System Administrator (CSA.)

There is a new version, "HP-UX CSA : Official Study Guide and Reference (2nd Edition,)" with 1072 pages of material for concepts from 2004 by Rafeeq Ur Rehman, August 25, 2004.

The "first version" book, "HP Certified: HP-UX System Administration," with 832 pages of material for concepts from 2000 by Rafeeq Rehman May 31, 2000. This book, still holds its value as shows in the pricing.

The next level is the HP-UX Certified System Engineer (CSE.)

This is the HP-UX CSE book, "HP-UX CSE : Official Study Guide and Desk Reference," with 1704 pages of material for concepts from 2004 by Charles Keenan, September 10, 2004.

If a deeper understanding of HP-UX is required, then I strongly suggest the "HP-UX 11i Internals," with 432 pages of material for concepts from 2004 by Chris Cooper, January 22, 2004.

Excellent Study Guide and Desk Reference - 2006-03-23

Sometimes you buy a book and wonder if it is any good or not.

This book provides excellent, thorough and detailed information on HP-UX S/W and the platform H/W.
It is a hard-cover book, and it is about 1700 pages. This book touches on PA-RISC and Itanium Servers with SuperDome.

Great desk reference - 2007-07-04
Reviewer Rating:
While this book is quite the industrial doorstop and is rather daunting for newbies, it serves as a nice reference and does a great job explaining in-depth such things as VxFS/JFS, kernel options, and memory utilization. There is a section on identifying bottlenecks that I found particularly interesting. With the new exams coming out (soon or already), its usefulness as a study guide is somewhat diminished, but the information contained should continue to be valid for years to come. One of the nice things about operating systems at this level is the long lifetimes and backward compatibility.
