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.

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.
