Presentation
High availability aims to keep a server or service continuously available and performing effectively. This course teaches you to deploy and manage high availability clusters within an enterprise network. It also prepares you for the Red Hat certification exam in High Availability Clustering (EX436) and the Red Hat Certified Architect certification pathway.
Objectives
This course teaches you to deploy and manage a high availability cluster configuration in an enterprise network. You will gain in-depth knowledge of Red Hat High Availability Add-On, shared storage technologies and storage administration. The course combines theory with extensive practical labs. It also prepares you for the Red Hat exam in Expertise in High Availability Clustering (EX436) and forms part of the Red Hat Certified Architect certification pathway.
By the end of the course, you will be able to:
- Install and configure Red Hat High Availability Add-On.
- Create and manage high availability services.
- Use shared storage (iSCSI) and configure multipathing.
- Configure GFS2 file systems.
- Configure XFS file systems.
- Use Red Hat Storage Server.
