About the test
The System administrator (sysadmin) online test assesses knowledge of setting up computer systems and procedures that keep such systems up and running.
The assessment includes work-sample tasks such as:
- Preparing backup procedures to prevent data loss.
- Configuring virtual machines, servers, and server clusters.
- Setting up the proper RAID configuration for a storage system.
A good system administrator needs to know how to configure and maintain system software and hardware, especially servers, as well as ensure that these systems run efficiently and effectively.
Sample public questions
A startup is using an in-house storage system that provides protection in case of single-disk failures, but this turned out to be insufficient.
Which of the following configurations can provide double-disk failure protection on any two disks in the configuration?
A company plans to purchase laptops for its employees so that they can work from home. The last decision to be made is which type of storage device to put into each laptop, based on the type of daily tasks each employee does.
How will a common SSD compare to a common HDD?
