Description

Learn the latest features in PowerHA.

Learn to: effectively administer and monitor a IBM PowerHA for AIX cluster; implement PowerHA for the more complex advanced AIX configuration options; and perform problem determination on a PowerHA for AIX cluster.

Objectives

•    Review fundamental PowerHA for AIX concepts and components
•    Understand what is new with PowerHA for AIX V5.5
•    Use the more complex extended path configuration options
•    Determine the status of the cluster and cluster components
•    Integrate applications into PowerHA for AIX
