This course is designed to teach experienced PowerHA SystemMirror for AIX professionals the latest features in PowerHA SystemMirror. It covers how to:
Effectively administer and monitor an IBM PowerHA SystemMirror for AIX cluster
Implement PowerHA SystemMirror for AIX’s more complex options
- Review fundamental PowerHA SystemMirror for AIX concepts and components
- Create four node clusters with two independent resource groups
- Create and test robust application start and stop scripts
- Create and test custom application monitors
- Create resource group dependencies
- Customize event notifications
- Integrate WPAR and DLPAR with applications under PowerHA control
- Integrate applications into PowerHA using Smart Assists
- Determine the status of the cluster and cluster components using PowerHA/SNMP commands
- Manage the cluster using the IBM Systems Director plug-in
You should have experience with installing and performing standard PowerHA SystemMirror for AIX configuration functions, which can be obtained through the following course (or equivalent experience):
