Red Hat High Availability Clustering (RH436) training course

Instructor‑Led: $4,700 | Duration: 5 Days

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.

2 — Managing cluster nodes and quorum

  • Manage node membership in the cluster and describe how it impacts cluster operation.

3 — Isolating malfunctioning cluster nodes

  • Isolate unresponsive cluster nodes to protect data and recover services and resources after a failure.

4 — Creating and configuring resources

  • Create basic resources and resource groups to provide highly available services.

5 — Troubleshooting high availability clusters

  • Identify, diagnose, and fix cluster issues.

6 — Automating cluster and resource deployment

  • Deploy a new high availability cluster and cluster resources using Ansible automation.

7 — Managing two-node clusters

  • Operate two-node clusters while identifying and avoiding issues specific to a two-node cluster configuration.

8 — Accessing iSCSI storage

  • Configure iSCSI initiators on your servers to access block-based storage devices provided by network storage arrays or Ceph storage clusters.

9 — Accessing storage devices resiliently

  • Configure resilient access to storage devices that have multiple access paths.

10 — Configuring LVM in clusters
