RH437: Red Hat® Storage Management with Exam

This course covers storage management, the Red Hat High Availability Add-On, and the shared storage technology delivered by Red Hat Global File System 2 (GFS2) and Red Hat Storage Server. You'll learn how to deploy and manage shared storage and server clusters that provide highly available network services to a mission-critical enterprise environment.

RH437 includes the Red Hat Storage Management & Clustering Certificate of Expertise Exam (EX436) on the last day. As a reminder, only current RHCEs can attempt this exam

Note: Global Knowledge and Red Hat do not guarantee that anyone who takes one or all of the courses in the Red Hat certification program will pass a Red Hat exam. On-the-job experience, in combination with high-quality training, is the best way to build skills and prepare for a Red Hat exam. The exam itself is a hands-on learning experience, and many of those who do not pass on the first try come away with knowledge of what they need to work on to pass the exam on a re-take.

Certification: Upon passing the exam, you'll receive a Certificate of Expertise for Clustering Storage Management. This exam is one of three that are required to earn a Red Hat Certified Data Center Specialist (RHCDS) certification and one of five exams needed to earn a Red Hat Certified Architect (RHCA) certification.

What You Will Learn

• Install and configure the Red Hat High Availability Add-On
• Create and manage highly available services
• Work with shared storage (iSCSI) and configure multipathing
• Configure GFS2 file systems

• Work with the Red Hat Storage Server

Audience

• Senior Linux system administrators responsible for maximizing resiliency though high-availability clustering services and using fault-tolerant shared-storage technologies
• RHCEs who want to prepare for and take the Clustering Storage Management Certificate of Expertise exam. If you are not an RHCE, you should enroll in RH436, a four-day course that does not include the exam.
