Audience

This course is for experienced AIX system administrators with TCP/IP networking and AIX LVM experience who are responsible for the planning and installation of a Power HA 6.1 cluster on an IBM power systems server running AIX 5L V5.3 or later.

Pre-requisites

You should be an AIX system administrator and have TCP/ IP, LVM storage and disk hardware implementation skills. These skills may be obtained by attending:

• Power Systems for AIX II: AIX Implementation and Administration (AN12) or (AX12)
• Power Systems for AIX III: Advanced Administration and Problem Determination (AN15) or (AX15)
• or through equivalent experience

Objective

• Explain what high availability is
• Outline the capabilities of PowerHA for AIX
• Design and plan a highly available cluster
• Install and configure PowerHA for AIX in the following modes of operation: Single resource group on a primary node with standby node; and Two resource groups in a mutual takeover configuration
• Configure resource group start-up, fall over, and fallback policies
• Perform basic system administration tasks for PowerHA
• Perform basic customization for PowerHA
• Perform basic problem determination and recovery
