Overview
The Sun Cluster 3.2 Advanced Administration course provides instruction on advanced configuration, maintenance, and troubleshooting skills and procedures for Sun Cluster 3.2. The course is intended for students who already have experience installing and configuring basic applications in Sun Cluster 3.2. The course begins with advanced coverage of upgrades in the Sun Cluster environment. It then covers advanced data service configuration and advanced procedures such as adding and deleting nodes. Students will get the opportunity to configure advanced file systems in the cluster, such as Sun StorEdge QFS and ZFS, and to run applications in Solaris 10 zones. The last part of the course is devoted to discussion and implementation of cluster best practices as well as troubleshooting examples.
