Lab Setup Guide Overview

Introduction This Lab Setup Guide provides directions for installing, preparing, and verifying the lab hardware and software for conducting the Sterling B2B Integrator Fundamentals (6T611) course.

The Requirements sections of this document provides details on specific hardware and software that are required to conduct this class.

Purpose The purpose of this lab setup guide is to assist the classroom preparer in setting up the 6T611 Sterling B2B Integrator lab environment.

(Continued on next page)

Important! n The training coordinators should be contacted beforehand as they have to raise the request for Central Lab Platform (CLP).

n Central Lab Platform (CLP) provides a centralized lab environment for hosting course images and it is typically used if the memory requirement of the course image is greater than 4GB.

n Note that the instructor will not have sufficient time to install the software needed for the lab exercises if the classroom is not properly prepared for the first day.
