Exam Preparation Guide

Purpose of the exam prep guide

The intent of this guide is to set expectations about the content and the context of the exam and to help candidates prepare for the exam. In this guide, you will find recommended HP training courses and reference and study materials to help you achieve a passing score. Studies conducted by HP show that a combination of
course attendance and self-study maximizes the likelihood of passing the exam on the first attempt.

Audience

This exam is designed for IT personnel, technical presales and service
professionals who have been supporting networked OpenVMS systems for 3 to 5
years. The primary network administration tasks that are tested include, but are not limited to:

• Converting network business requirements into feasible, functional configurations

• Installing and configuring network applications and protocols

• Integrating network protocols and applications

• Monitoring, maintaining, and optimizing systems connected to a network

• Troubleshooting network configurations, connectivity and performance

Prerequisite

This exam (HP0-436), together with the OpenVMS v7 Advanced Administration, Performance, and Support Exam #HP0-450, represent the requirements for the HP Certified System Engineer credential for OpenVMS.

This exam assumes that candidates have passed the OpenVMS System Administration Exam #HP0-651. Although you can register for this exam without first passing the HP0-651exam, you are more likely to pass the HPO-436 exam if
you have first mastered the knowledge and skill areas covered in the HP0-651
exam.
