Linux High Availability Clustering by Shikhar Verma

Design and deploy a high availability cluster to provide active/passive or active/active services using HA Pacemaker

Students should understand HA cluster concepts and how to manage different nodes, start/stop services

Creating High-Availability Clusters

Managing Cluster Nodes and Quorum

Managing Fencing

Creating and Configuring Resources

Managing Constraints

About Order, Location & Colocation Constraints

Troubleshooting High-Availability Clusters

Controlling Complex Resource groups

Managing Two Node Clusters

Concept about Split Brain, Fence death/fence racing

Managing iSCSI Initiators

Configuring & Managing High-Availability Logical Volumes

Managing Clustered Logical Volumes

GFS2 Concepts

Creating a GFS2 formatted Cluster File Systems

Growing & Repairing a GFS2 File System

PC or Laptop with internet Connection

CentOS 7, RHEL7 ISO Image

Vmware workstation

This course helps you to understand high availability clustering by providing a strong concept and hands-on experience with Pacemaker and Corosync components of Red Hat / CentOS Enterprise High Availability Cluster.
