051-732 Novell Certified Linux Professional 11 for Red Hat Certified Engineers®
前幾天收到周六考過的 Novell CLE 11證書時，有點傻掉，以為是收錯證書了。新版本的配色比前個版本都是白白一片感覺活潑許多 ....
今天起了個大早去參加 Novell CLE 11 的考試，原本是安排月初去考試的，結果這段時間公司的計劃實在太多了，時常再外地跑來跑去，因此延但到今天才有機會去考試。不過，這次講時話並沒有很完整的準備就去測試了，原因當然還是公司計劃變化太快 = = 整個已經忙到快暈了 ....
Novell CLE 11 有別於之前的 Novell CLE 10 的範圍，這次僅有一本教材 ( 3107 - SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11: Novell Certified Linux Engineer 11 )，內容也和之前不太相同。主要著重在於 網路應用組態、虛擬化 XEN、IDS應用、系統監控幾個主題。理論上，準備起來其實不會太過於複雜，這幾個主題除了虛擬化 XEN 之外，有興趣的朋友可以直接參考小弟的著作 「Linux系統安全防護與建置」一書中其實都有涵蓋 ( 約 70 ~ 80% 左右 )。
首先，先來看一下官方的考剛項目有那些：
自從前陣子開放 Novell CLP 11考試之後，已經許久沒新訊息關於 Novell CLE 11的考試開放時兼了，上個月的 Beta 考試，運氣不好沒被抽到 ＠＠ 所以還沒機會與各位分享考試的模式與內容，依據目前開放的範圍來看，這次 Novell CLE 11 僅針對 3107 進行測驗 ( 目前國內尚未引進該教材與課程 )，依據上次 CNI 的內訓來看，與這次的公佈架構大同小異，但感覺 Novell 似乎會在針對特定主題提出新的認證 ^^"
底下為 Novell CLE 11的官方準備流程：
目前 Novell CLA11 增加日文與中文兩種語系供考生選擇，有興趣的考生可以挑選中文版進行測驗 ^^
The CLA 11 exam (050-720) has been translated into Japanese and Chinese versions and these exam versions are now available.
(WALTHAM, Mass. and SACRAMENTO, Calif. – February 9, 2010) Novell Inc. and The Linux Professional Institute (LPI) today announced an international partnership to standardize their entry-level Linux certification programs on LPIC-1. Under this program, Linux professionals who have earned their LPIC-1 status will also satisfy the requirements for the Novell® Certified Linux Administrator (CLA) certification. In addition, Novell Training Services has formally agreed to include required LPIC-1 learning objectives in its CLA course training material.
“As a proven provider of enterprise software and services for more than 25 years, and the provider of the most interoperable Linux platform, Novell is well positioned to deliver a comprehensive training program that ensures Linux professionals can achieve the globally recognized LPIC-1 certification enabling them to address diverse data center requirements with technical skill and confidence," said Markus Rex, general manager and senior vice president for Open Platform Solutions at Novell.
Adoption of Linux, including SUSE® Linux Enterprise from Novell, is accelerating as the industry pursues cost saving solutions that deliver maximum reliability and manageability. A 2009 global survey of IT executives revealed that 40 percent of survey participants plan to deploy additional workloads on Linux over the next 12-24 months and 49 percent indicated Linux will be their primary server platform within five years.
“This partnership represents the strong support the LPI certification program has within the wider IT and Linux community. This historical support has included contributions from vendors such as Novell and has assisted LPI to become the most widely recognized and accepted Linux certification,” said Jim Lacey, president and CEO of LPI. “We look forward to working with Novell to promote the further development of the Linux workforce of the future. In particular, by aligning its training and exam preparation curriculum to support LPIC-1 objectives, Novell has recognized the industry’s need for a vendor-neutral certification program that prepares IT professionals to work with any Linux distribution in an enterprise environment."
Under the terms of the agreement, all qualified* LPIC-1 holders will have the opportunity to apply for Novell CLA certification without additional exams or fees. Novell Training Services will include LPIC-1 objectives into its Linux Administrator curriculum and programs which include self study, on demand, and partner-led classroom training.
“As an Authorized Training Partner within the Novell PartnerNet® program, SwitchDesk has trained the IT staff from some of the nation’s top companies such as Ford Motor Company, Boeing, Macromedia, NASA and many more,” said Chris Clark, President and CEO, SwitchDesk, Inc. “We are pleased to see LPI and Novell partner to develop aligned course content objectives and deliver dual certification so our customers will be equipped with a broad skill set.”

感謝上次協助小弟錄影的朋友，很趕~真的很趕~雖然要急著送出這些影片和文件，但你們的協助錄影~小弟終生難忘 ( PS. 下次需要還是得幫忙阿 ~ )，今天中午收到 IPE 考試結果的通知 ~ 抱著忐忑不安的心打開，終於看到這個月最好的消息：

痛哭流涕感動中 ~ ^^ ~ 不過礙於相關保密條款 ~ 我不能透露考試的內容和相關資訊 ^^
其實這個考試心得應該是要在 10/30 號就進行分享了，只是考試後的成績因複查狀況未明，所以一直沒貼上來，今天重新再進行一次測驗，這次順利 PASS 了，不過整體來說 Novell CLP 11與之前的 10 之間題目上來說大同小異，Shell Script的動作與運作方式比起前一個版本多了些變化，不過這次碰到的題目我認為蠻有問題的，再解題上應該沒有錯誤但確被扣除蠻多分數，因此這可能還得與原廠確認一下才能知道到底發生什麼事情。
由於目前 Novell CLP 11尚未有官方教材，因此如有朋友要進行考試基本上可以直接參考舊版的 Novell CLP 10的教材，考試的範圍基本上略有調整，參考網址為：http://www.novell.com/training/certinfo/clp/，基本上包括幾個主要的主題：
由於這幾年來我們美麗的地球被破壞的太嚴重了，因此各地政府或者是企業無一不倡導綠能與環保等議題，Novell也於今年中旬開始為了響應綠能環境，為地球盡一份心力，因此呢，之後只要考過相關認證時便不再寄發 Hard Copy 也就是實體的紙張證書拉，取而代之的是一封包涵 PDF 證書檔案的郵件，如果當你順利通過 Novell 相關認證之後，通常在 24~48 HR之內應該就可以於Certification DB中查詢到你的證照紀錄，接著變會收到一封如下圖所示的郵件，裏面便會包涵著PDF檔案的證書：
若你不幸沒收到時，別緊張，請發一封郵件給 eddata AT novell DOT com，內容主旨與格式如下所示，他們變會協助處理作業：
郵件主題：「認證考試名稱」 electronic certificates file ?
郵件內容參考：
Dear Sir, I passed the 「認證考試名稱」 exam on 「日期」 , but i have not received electronic certificates , can you help me check that, thanks a lot. Certification ID number is: 「你的ID」 Best Regards,
幾經波折之後，終於收到最後的成績通知了，感謝 Novell 的 Jim Henderson 和 Björn Lotz，在百忙之中還要聽我用破破的英文來抱怨，再次感謝。廢話不多說，先介紹一下Novell Certified Linux Engineer 10 (NCLE 10)這張認証，這張證照是定位在 Novell 所推出的另外一張證照 NCLP 的上一階證照，主要是針對Linux進階工程師的考試評核，考試範圍涵蓋：
官方釋出的考試提要如網站內容所示，有興趣的朋友可以參考。由於這張證照的訓練課程台灣並未引進，因此尚無法於訓練中心通路取得教材，但稍微看一下官方釋出來的提要，還是有準備的範圍與方式，以下為小弟準備這張認証考試時所準備的模式。
