Overview
This intensive course is focussed on teaching how to deploy and manage shared storage and server clusters that provide highly available network services to a mission-critical enterprise environment. The course will ensure that participants display a wide array of skills including improving application uptime by using high availability clustering, managing storage in a high availability environment using iSCSI initiators, HA-LVM or CLVM as appropriate, and GFS2 cluster file systems and implementing strategies to identify single points of failure in high availability clusters and eliminate them.
What You'll Learn
- 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
- Configure GFS2 file systems
