Red Hat Certified Specialist in High Availability Clustering

The Red Hat High Availability Clustering course provides advanced training on designing, managing, and troubleshooting Red Hat Clustering and high-availability (HA) clusters using Pacemaker. Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of cluster technologies, storage solutions, and essential HA concepts. The course covers:

  • Cluster Node Management: Ensuring proper node membership and cluster integrity.

  • Quorum Decision-Making: Implementing quorum to make decisions within the cluster.

  • Fencing Configuration: Safeguarding cluster integrity by configuring fencing mechanisms.

  • Resource Groups Management: Creating and managing resource groups, including handling complex constraints.

  • Troubleshooting: Identifying and resolving cluster issues.

  • Two-Node Cluster Issues: Addressing common challenges in two-node configurations.

  • Storage Solutions: Configuring iSCSI initiators, multipath storage, and using Logical Volume Manager (LVM) in clustered environments.

  • GFS2: Managing clustered file systems to eliminate single points of failure.

The course includes practical exercises and a comprehensive review to prepare learners for maintaining high-availability services and ensuring business continuity.

 

Course Prerequisites

To effectively participate in the RH436 course, the following prerequisites are recommended:

  • Basic Understanding of Linux Command Line: Comfort with terminal commands and Linux file system navigation.

  • Fundamental Linux Administration Knowledge: Experience with tasks such as managing users, groups, permissions, and software packages.

  • Experience with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL): Prior experience or equivalent training (RH124 and RH134 courses).

  • Familiarity with Text Editors: Proficiency in using editors like vi or nano for configuration file modifications.

  • Networking Knowledge: Basic concepts of IP addressing, hostname resolution, and firewalls.

  • Logical Volume Manager (LVM): Awareness of disk management and LVM concepts.

  • Storage Devices Knowledge: Understanding of various storage types, including local and network-attached storage.

These prerequisites ensure that participants have a solid foundation for learning and applying high-availability clustering techniques with Red Hat technologies.
