IBM - PowerHA/XD: Extended Distance and Disaster Recovery

KURSZIEL
IBM - PowerHA/XD: Extended Distance and Disaster Recovery: This is an advanced course for AIX system administrators and support personnel who are responsible for the implementation and maintenance of IBM Power systems running PowerHA/XD clusters.Students who wish to understand PowerHA/XD concepts and how it can be used to provide automated disaster recovery. Students who wish to learn how to implement GLVM, Metro Mirror or Global Mirror as a data replication method for PowerHA/XD. Students who wish to learn about how to manage PowerHA/XD clusters.

• AIX technical support individuals
• System administrators
• Systems engineers
• System architects

Kursziele

• Plan for data replication over a distance, considering replication method (software versus hardware), bandwidth requirements, latency, and time-to-write
• Describe GLVM (Synchronous and Asynchronous), Metro/Global Mirror, and PowerHA/XD concepts and processing
• Plan for and implement PowerHA/XD with GLVM and Metro/Global Mirror
• Perform on-going maintenance of the PowerHA/XD cluster
