List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Prepare for the design and installation of an integrated server solution | 1.1 Consult with client and key stakeholders to identify server integration requirements 1.2 Prepare for work, according to site specific safety requirements and enterprise occupational health and safety (OHS) processes and procedures 1.3 Arrange access to site and advise client of deployment and potential down times 1.4 Consult appropriate personnel to ensure the task is coordinated effectively with others involved at the worksite |
2. Plan and design integrated server solution | 2.1 Research and review authentication methods available for integration of network operating systems 2.2 Select appropriate authentication methods and protocols 2.3 Research redundancy and replication requirements for selected authentication model 2.4 Produce the integrated server design, including authentication, file sharing and security |
3. Install and configure the integrated server solution | 3.1 Implement integrated authentication solution 3.2 Implement integrated file sharing solution 3.3 Configure workstations for integrated environment 3.4 Implement security for the integrated server environment |
4. Test and reconfigure network servers | 4.1 Test server for benchmarking against client specification and requirements according to test plan, and record outcomes 4.2 Analyse error report and make changes as required 4.3 Use troubleshooting tools and techniques to diagnose and correct integration problems 4.4 Test required changes or additions 4.5 Validate changes or additions against specifications |
5. Complete and document network design and installation | 5.1 Make and document server configuration and operational changes 5.2 Complete client report and notification of server status 5.3 Clean up and restore worksite to client’s satisfaction 5.4 Secure sign-off from appropriate person |
Evidence of the ability to:
produce design documents to integrate multiple server operating systems for authentication, file sharing and security
install and configure the integrated solution according to the produced design
monitor and test the solution
troubleshoot integration problems.
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
explain authentication methods and protocols, such as lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP) and Kerberos
summarise compatibility issues and resolution procedures
outline current network operating systems (NOS)
describe current server applications, compatibility issues and resolution procedures
list documentation required for networks
outline error and event logging and reporting
summarise file and print management
explain file system security
outline high availability options for servers
summarise network file systems and shares
outline network service configuration and security
summarise operating system help and support utilities
list and describe performance monitoring tools and tuning options
describe the process of managing a project, including:
process or task management
task scheduling utilities
explain troubleshooting tools and techniques, including network diagnostic utilities
describe user authentication and directory services.
Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the network industry, and include access to:
a site where server installation may be conducted
relevant server specifications such as:
multiple operating system platforms
cabling
networked (LAN) computers
server diagnostic software
switching equipment
client requirements
workstations
relevant regulatory documentation that affects installation activities.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
