RH436 provides intensive hands-on experience with the
emerging Shared Storage technology delivered by Red Hat
Global File System (GFS). This 4-day course focuses on the
implementation of native Red Hat Enterprise Linux
technologies included in Cluster Suite and GFS. RH436 has a
strong emphasis on hands-on lab activities using
enterprise-class storage, server, and auxiliary equipment.
The final day of class is entirely given over to additional
lab time so that course participants have ample time to
practice Cluster Suite and GFS skills in a realistic
environment before returning to production systems.
Audience:
RH436 is aimed at senior Red Hat Enterprise Linux system
administrators and other IT professionals working in
enterprise environments and mission-critical systems.
Prerequisites:
Participants in RH436 should already be familiar with Red
Hat Enterprise Linux. Recommended minimum competency level
is completion of the RHCE or equivalent knowledge.
