A Systems Administrator at the Department of Interior (DOI), Minerals Management Service Agency (MMS) maintains and manages the workstations, network servers, software applications and data networks. He or she typically must be an expert with UNIX applications (understands Solaris 8), systems programmer/engineer (understands the systems programs and potentially modifies the operating system code) and network analyst. My objective this summer was to assist senior System Administrators in their network management duties (data storage, access management, network management, etc.). This summer I had the opportunity to be exposed a variety fundamental task that will enhance my career in becoming a system administrator. One of the my first task evolved Access Management; Access Management deals with a data program tracker name “MAGIC”, use to manage all technical inventory at the DOI, MMS Agencies. Then my next assignment consists of understanding Solaris 8 administration sufficient to modify the network server configuration, server setup, and custom Jumpstart setup.
