Who is organising this training course?

We enhance both individual development and efficiency by sharing the IT expertise and managerial experience of our instructors. We offer over 300 courses in French and English at our center in Capellen. These courses focus on infrastructure, development, project management, governance, and soft skills.

What are the prerequisites?

Red Hat Certified System Administrator (RHCSA) exam (EX200) and associated courses or Red Hat Cerfitied Engineer (RHCE) exam (EX294) and associated courses.

What are the aims or the skills being targeted?

Red Hat® High Availability Clustering (RH436) provides intensive, hands-on experience in deploying and managing shared storage and server clusters. In this 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 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

What does the training course cover?

Creating high availability clusters
Create a basic high availability cluster.
Managing cluster nodes and quorum
Manage node membership in the cluster and describe how it impacts cluster operation.
Isolating malfunctioning cluster nodes
Isolate unresponsive cluster nodes to protect data and recover services and resources after a failure.
Creating and configuring resources
Create basic resources and resource groups to provide highly available services.
Troubleshooting high availability clusters
Identify, diagnose, and fix cluster issues.
Automating cluster and resource deployment
Deploy a new high availability cluster and cluster resources using Ansible automation.
Managing two-node clusters
Operate two-node clusters while identifying and avoiding issues specific to a two-node cluster configuration.
Accessing iSCSI storage
Configure iSCSI initiators on your servers to access block-based storage devices provided by network storage arrays or Ceph storage clusters.
Accessing storage devices resiliently
Configure resilient access to storage devices that have multiple access paths.
Configuring LVM in clusters
Select, configure, and manage the correct LVM configuration for use in your cluster.
Providing storage with the GFS2 cluster file system
Use the GFS2 cluster file system to simultaneously pProvide tightly coupled shared storage that can be accessed by multiple nodes.
Eliminating single points of failure
Identify and eliminate single points of failure in your cluster to decrease risk and increase average service availability.
