The Sun Cluster 3.1 Advanced Administration course provides students with
the skills necessary to upgrade, protect, configure, maintain, and troubleshoot
software running in a Sun Cluster 3.1 software environment. Through the use
of lecture and hands-on labs, students learn how to upgrade the Solaris
Operating System (Solaris OS), Sun Cluster software, VERITAS Volume Manager
(VxVM), and ORACLE. Students learn how Sun Cluster data services are written,
in order to fully understand how to tune and configure resources and resource groups.
The course discusses advanced maintenance procedures for the cluster and several
advanced features, such as using Sun StorEdge QFS in the cluster. The course
discusses several best practices for Sun Cluster 3.x software administration, and
specifically addresses hardening the cluster security using the Solaris Security Toolkit.
Finally, the course defines general and specific troubleshooting approaches and
resources to resolve problems in a Sun Cluster 3.x software environment.
Who Can Benefit
Students who can benefit from this course are those responsible for designing,
configuring, maintaining, and troubleshooting a Sun Cluster 3.1 software
environment.
