Symantec Cluster Server 6.x for UNIX: Administration Fundamentals COURSE DESCRIPTION The Symantec Cluster Server 6.x for UNIX: Administration Fundamentals course is designed for the IT professional tasked with installing, configuring, and maintaining Symantec Cluster Server (VCS) clusters. This five day, Instructor led, hands-on class covers how to use Symantec 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 can deploy VCS in a lab environment to implement a sample cluster design. Delivery Method Instructor Led Training (ILT) Duration Five days Course Objectives By the completion of this course, you will be able to: 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 and

other applications. Describe LLT over RDMA supported connections. Observe the benefits of AdaptiveHA. Describe Multi-site management. Who Should Attend This course is for UNIX system administrators, system engineers, technical support personnel, network/SAN administrators, and systems integration/development staff, who will be installing, operating, or integrating Symantec Cluster Server. . Prerequisites Knowledge of UNIX system administration. Hands-On This course includes practical lab exercises that enable you to test your new skills and begin to transfer those skills into your working environment.
