HP0-P17 Certification Exam — Your Questions, Answered
The HP0-P17 exam is the official HP exam behind HP-UX 11i v3 Security Administration — passing it earns you the HP Certification III certification, a credential positioned at the Professional level. It is built for candidates who want to validate the skills measured by HP-UX 11i v3 Security Administration. Depending on your track, the exam is also linked to the HP-UX 11i v3 System Administration (HP0-A01) and HP-UX 11i v3 Advanced System Administration (HP0-P21) certifications, so one pass can move you toward more than one HP credential.
To pass the HP0-P17 exam you need 70%, and the official registration fee is USD 200 (approx.). Keep in mind that a failed attempt means paying that fee again in full — retakes are not discounted. Given the cost, self-test before you book: if you can score comfortably above the passing mark on two or three consecutive timed ExamTorrent practice tests, your budget is far better spent on the exam itself than on a retake.
Recommended experience with HP-UX system administration and understanding of UNIX security principles.
