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.
