| Modality: Online and face-to-face | Duration in days: 2 |
Target audience This course is intended for Linux system administrators, system architects, technical support engineers and pre-sales personnel interested in the implementation, configuration and support of high availability clusters using DRBD and Pacemaker in IBM Power environments, typically for SAP HANA on SUSE and Red Hat. Desired prerequisites: The student should already know the basics of Linux administration.
Specifically, the student should understand the basics of disk and volume administration and Ethernet network administration in SLES.
These prerequisites can be met by attending the following courses:
- Linux Basics
- Power systems running Linux: SUSE Storage Management (LX052G) or have equivalent Linux administration skills.
Instructors
The vast majority of IBM courses we offer are taught directly by our engineers. This is the only way to guarantee the highest quality. We complement all training with our own materials and laboratories, based on our experience during the deployments, migrations and courses we have conducted over the years.
Value added
Our courses are deeply oriented to the role to be performed. It is not the same the needs of mastering a technology for a team of developers, as it is for the people in charge of deploying and managing the infrastructure. That’s why, beyond commands and tasks, we focus on solving the problems that arise in the day-to-day of each team. Providing them with the knowledge, skills and skills required for each project. In addition, our documentation is based on the latest version of each product.
