Thnaks a lot for your support and comments. I m working now in a large setup . Here in my data centre there are 3 super dom , 2 SAN switches , 25 L class server , SAP and oracle are running in Application server . But the main problem is I m new in this OS . So i m learning from Rehman HP guide. I think it is very important to work with large environment with large h/w setup.
