The Veritas Cluster Server course is designed for the IT professional tasked with installing, configuring, and maintaining VCS clusters. This five day, instructor-led, hands-on class covers how to use Veritas Cluster Server to manage applications in a high availability environment. After gaining the fundamental skills that are needed to manage a highly available application in a cluster, you will deploy VCS in a lab environment to implement a sample cluster design.
Course Objectives
By the end of this course, you should be able to:
• Manage existing highly available application services using Veritas Cluster Server.
• Install VCS and create a cluster.
• Configure service groups and resources.
• Implement and verify failover and failback capability for application, storage, and network services.
• Configure and optimize cluster behavior.
• Protect data in a shared storage environment
• Configure VCS to manage an Oracle database, an NFS share, and other applications.
• Analyze, troubleshoot, and correct cluster problems.
• Implement four-node clusters.
• Configure service group dependencies and workload management.
• Implement alternative network configurations.
You should have experience as a system and network administrator working in a UNIX environment. Experience developing shell or Perl scripts is helpful.
This course is for system administrators, system engineers, network administrators, system integration or development staff, and technical support personnel who will be working with Veritas Cluster Server.
