Specific Outcomes and Assessment Criteria: |
SPECIFIC OUTCOME 1 |
Monitor the performance of a multi-user networked operating system |
OUTCOME RANGE |
Performance specifications; Comparison of results; Limitations; Recommendations. |
|
ASSESSMENT CRITERION 1 |
1. The monitoring explains system performance measures, and outlines and justifies a monitoring strategy. |
ASSESSMENT CRITERION 2 |
2. The monitoring is carried out in accordance with the monitoring strategy. |
ASSESSMENT CRITERION 3 |
3. The monitoring compares the results produced from performance monitoring, with user perception of performance, and identifies discrepancies between the two measures. |
ASSESSMENT CRITERION 4 |
4. The monitoring identifies performance-limiting factors. |
ASSESSMENT CRITERION 5 |
5. The monitoring outlines recommendations to improve performance, and justifies them using performance analysis. |
SPECIFIC OUTCOME 2 |
Resolve problems with a multi-user networked operating system. |
OUTCOME RANGE |
Problem-identification; Symptoms; Diagnostics; Documentation. |
|
ASSESSMENT CRITERION 1 |
1. The resolution ensures that the operating system is returned to service, free of problem symptoms. |
ASSESSMENT CRITERION 2 |
2. The resolution uses an industry recommended procedure to diagnose problems. |
ASSESSMENT CRITERION 3 |
3. The resolution ensures that descriptions of solutions to the problems are justified by diagnostic evidence. |
ASSESSMENT CRITERION 4 |
4. The resolution uses a diagnostic tool to diagnose problems. |
ASSESSMENT CRITERION 5 |
5. The resolution ensures that the problem causes and resolutions are documented according to industry recommended practice. |
SPECIFIC OUTCOME 3 |
Maintain a multi-user networked operating system. |
OUTCOME RANGE |
Security; Integrity; Backups; Performance factors. |
|
ASSESSMENT CRITERION 1 |
1. The maintenance ensures that any configurations made to the multi-user networked operating system are in accordance with organisation requirements. |
ASSESSMENT CRITERION 2 |
2. The maintenance ensures that changes to the multi-user networked operating system maintain the integrity and security of the software. |
ASSESSMENT CRITERION 3 |
3. The maintenance ensures that monitoring and tuning of the system maximises operation and performance, and meets manufacturer and organisation specifications. |
