First, basic information
"Fundamentals of unix system"
"HP-UX System and Network Administration I"
"HP-UX System and Network Administration II"
Note: The above three books in English are the official HP documentation, also available in Chinese popular folk, but I recommend here to see the original English document. Documents are pdf format, online should be good to find.

Second, prepare magic
1, boson.hp.practice.tests.v5.34-rbs
2, "HP0-M31 for system administrator"
Note 1: professional certification with online resource site-Testinside, are both preparing for certification exams Fuji magic, some people despise this thing, this means that in order to pass the examination is of no significance. While we should not despise people angry, because that is his freedom; the other hand, examination fees, after all, pricey, quick to hundreds of thousands, if through such a way to ensure that their hard-earned money that is not white nor not.
Note 2: boson and the test has little, by doing boson, some basic knowledge can deepen the impression. The online resources are of great relevance to the examination, examination of the original title coverage is usually 60% or more, if the book promising, the question has to do, and pass the exam is only a matter of time. TesTestinsideing can download on my blog.

Third, the test methods
1, in HP's HPCP site
No online registration of students. SUN or HP Certification exam is different from Cisco, when the registration number must be the student, or not given examination. Here we must note that, because HPCP is a very abnormal site, a registered student numbers are always so unsatisfactory, so when the number of registered students have not dogged, Many hands make light the spirit of their own machine try several times, and if not, the personal data to others, ask someone to help up.
2, to the local test center to pay the examination fee (Beijing here is 600RMB, do not know how other areas), and their identity cards, student number and test center staff agreed examination time (except weekends here to Beijing two days ahead of the agreed test , usually are able to register the day of examination the same day).
3, examination of the way when you can choose Chinese or English entrance examination test, the test content is not selected for examinations vary.
4, the examination time is usually a half hour, usually in the sixty Questions and Answers about the form of questions to multiple choice, fill in the blank, drag the main map title.

Fourth, wait for the process
1, if passed the examination, qualification certificates will normally be the way a letter within one month arrived at the test center staff or refer to the address provided.
2, line a number of statements, such as the examination after completing the official online registration must be what the HP personal data, or can not receive a certificate, the practice by himself, and after other people proved to be nonsense.

Fifth, gossip
1, the test certificate is not the purpose of, at best a tool for testing the learning process, through it, it proved a better grasp of some of the HPUX system administrators should have the knowledge. Pass, however, can only say that more efforts need to read.
2 certification exam before, Testinside need to look, the book is more better looking. Although it is not read just look at the online resources can also be passed certification exams, but in this case to get the certificate will make people empty inside, just like after accidentally killing large, the heart has always been uneasy. Chairman Mao said, practice is the sole criterion for testing truth, and if the certificate alone to feel good about themselves, that there is often at work in the larger gap, only through continuous cumulative, continuously dealing with the machine, constant gain experience before can truly become a qualified HPUX system administrator.

Sixth, I wish more and more people passed the examination
