Course Objectives

Impact on the organization

This course is intended to develop the skills needed to administer a software defined storage system based on commodity hardware, providing enterprise level capabilities, such as: fault tolerance, geo-replication, snapshotting, tiering and encryption, while enabling your storage infrastructure to grow at a pace that matches your business needs.

Red Hat has created this course in a way intended to benefit our customers, but each company and infrastructure is unique, and actual results or benefits may vary.

Impact on the individual

As a result of attending this course, students should be able to describe the architecture of Gluster, install and operate a Gluster cluster, and integrate it with Red Hat Storage Console.

Students should be able to demonstrate the following skills:

  • Describe the architecture of Gluster
  • Install a Red Hat Gluster Storage cluster
  • Manage operations on a Red Hat Gluster Storage cluster
  • Manage Red Hat Gluster Storage with Red Hat Storage Console

Product Description

Students will learn how to install, configure, and maintain a cluster of Red Hat Storage servers. The course will also explore highly available common Internet file systems (CIFS) and network file systems (NFS) using Clustered Trivial DataBase (CTDB), unified file and object storage, and geo-replication. Finally, students will learn about the Hadoop plugin for Red Hat Storage, snapshots, and geo-replication.

This course can help you prepare for the Red Hat Certified Specialist in Gluster Storage Administration Exam (EX236).
