The Sun Cluster 3.2 Advanced Administration course provides system administrators, database administrators, and support personnel with 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 for Sun Cluster 3.2. The course begins with 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 features in the cluster such as shared QFS, telemetry, and automated resource management. Students will understand in detail the three models for managing zones in the Sun Cluster environment and will configure HA-Containers, cluster-controlled applications in zones, and zone clusters.
