Seminar-Ziele:

The objectives of this class are to review PowerHA SystemMirror for AIX fundamental concepts, components, and new features. Students will gain advanced information that will be vital when building and administering complex HA configurations.

On completion of this course, students should be able to:

• Review fundamental PowerHA SystemMirror for AIX concepts and components
• Use the more complex configuration options:
  • Create four node clusters with two independent resource groups
  • Create and test robust application start and stop scripts
  • Create and test custom application monitors
  • Create resource group dependencies
  • Customize event notifications
  • Integrate WPAR and DLPAR with applications under PowerHA control

Determine the status of the cluster and cluster components using PowerHA/SNMP commands and the IBM Systems Director plug-in

• Integrate applications using Smart Assists into PowerHA SystemMirror for AIX:
  • Using the DB2 Smart Assist
