You will learn how to use VERITAS Cluster Server to manage applications in high availability environment. After gaining the fundamental skills that are needed to manage a highly available application in an existing cluster, you will deploy VCS in a lab environment to implement a sample cluster design. You learn to:

Manage existing highly available application services using VERITAS Cluster Server.
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 a database, a file share, and other applications.
Analyze, troubleshoot, and correct cluster problems.
Implement four-node clusters.
Configure service group dependencies and workload management.
Implement alternative storage and network configurations.
Perform ongoing maintenance.
