PowerHA SystemMirror 7 Advanced Configurations
Course Code: AN62G
Duration: 5 Days
Prerequisites:
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):
• PowerHA SystemMirror for AIX System Administration I: Planning and Implementation (AN61G)
You should also be familiar with:
• The AIX operating system
• The IBM server hardware that they are using
• The principles of good system management
• TCP/IP communications concepts and tools, as covered in (AN12G) or (AN14G) briefly (or in (AN21G) extensively)
• Logical Volume Manager (LVM) concepts and configuration, as covered in (AN12G) or (AN14G)
• Good Korn Shell script programming
Course Description:
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
Course Objectives:
• 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
Intended Audience:
This course is designed for experienced AIX system administrators and support personnel who are responsible for the administration, maintenance, and implementation of PowerHA SystemMirror clusters on IBM Power p systems running AIX. This audience includes:
• Students who want to learn to work with the PowerHA SystemMirror 7.1 for AIX
• Students who want to learn about how to implement PowerHA SystemMirror for AIX in complex configurations
• Technical leaders responsible for designing PowerHA SystemMirror for AIX clustering solutions
