About IBM C4040-332 dump

Planning (16%)

• Design a cluster with suitable hardware and to minimise SPOFs
  
• Evaluate cluster security requirements
  
• Determine interdependencies of cluster components including resource groups, parent/child relationships, locations, dynamic node priority, application priority, capacity on demand, etc.
  
• Determine other application requirements for cluster integration
  
• Plan cluster topology and AIX requirements, including IP and network configuration, IPAT, host file configuration, fibre channel adapters, storage components, MPIO / drivers, and NPIV.
  
• Plan a cluster within a virtualized environment
  
• Understand at a basic level Cluster Aware AIX (CAA) capabilities and requirements
  
• Understand differences between PowerHA 6 and PowerHA 7
  
• Identify required software elements including AIX levels, filesets, and HA Standard or Enterprise editions, including replication options
  

Installation and Configuration (22%)

• Perform PowerHA installation
  
• Configuring topology components (e.g. persistent IP addresses, IP and non -IP networks, nodes, IPAT via aliasing and replacement, site configuration, network modules, etc.)
  
• Understand HA in conjunction with Heartbeat over IP aliasing,Etherchannel, Multicast IP address.
  
• Implement LVM or GLVM between two separate sites (between systems, buildings or cities)
  
• Verify AIX prerequisites have been addressed
  
• Configuring netmon.cf file
  
• Implement cluster security including LDAP, RBAC and EFS security options in 7.1
  
• Define custom events (user defined events, and pre and post events)
  
• Configure resources (including service IP, resource groups, resource group dependencies, nfs, VGs, etc)
  

Perform Cluster Migrations (6%)

• Determine migration methods, including considering what level of HA is installed at the target of migration (not clusters all migrate to 7.1)
  
• Determine migration tasks and solve problems related to migrating from PowerHA 6 to PowerHA 7
  

Testing and Verification (5%)

• Testing cluster components and validate cluster configuration, including fallover, fallback, cluster start and stop, and simulated network failure).
  
• Using the cluster test tool
  

Daily Administration (35%)

• Manage resource group components, including nfs
  
• Analyze cluster status
  
• Verify and synchronize the cluster
  
• Administer resource groups, including application monitors
  
• Managing PowerHA file collections
  
• Using C-SPOC and understand what functions are available including managing cluster users, passwords, shared VG and filesystems
  
• Backing up and restoring the cluster
  
• Configure error notifications
  
• Add or remove components during cluster operation
  
• Create application monitor
  
• Understand cluster events and their impact on the cluster
  
• Using DLPAR within a resource group
  

Problem Determination and Resolution (11%)

• Recover from failed events and from failed DARE operations
  
• Recover from script failures and config_too_longs, etc.
  
• Analyze and manage critical logs, including understanding cluster events and processing order
  
• Configuring cluster tunables
  
• Understand how RSCT detects failures
