Duration 5 Days 30 CPD hours This course is intended for Senior Linux system administrators who use high-availability clustering and fault-tolerant shared storage technologies to maximize resiliency of production services. Overview Install and configure a Pacemaker-based high availability cluster. Create and manage highly available services. Troubleshoot common cluster issues. Work with shared storage (iSCSI) and configure multipathing. Implement Logical Volume Manager (LVM) in cluster-aware configurations. Configure GFS2 file systems on storage shared by multiple nodes. Deploy reliable, available critical production services in a high availability cluster In the Red Hat High Availability Clustering (RH436) course, you will learn how to provide highly available network services to a mission-critical enterprise environment through the deployment and management of shared storage and server clusters. Created for senior Linux system administrators, this 4-day course strongly emphasizes lab-based activities. You will set up a cluster of systems running the Pacemaker component of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux High-Availability Add-On, and deploy Linux-based services such as web servers and databases on that cluster. Cluster storage components from the Resilient Storage Add-On are also covered; installations and applications that require multiple cluster nodes can access the same storage simultaneously. This includes Logical Volume Manager (LVM) Shared Volume Groups, Red Hat Global File System 2 (GFS2), and Device-Mapper Multipath. This course is based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.3.
