RH436 (6.2) HA Clustering and Storage 2012-07-20

Student Activity Checklist

Course participants who are new to the HA environment or who desire familiarization with features, methods and best practices

are advised to perform exercises primarily from the Solutions, using the pages marked in bold.

Experienced RHEV administrators needing less detailed guidance, and exam candidates wanting a realistic evaluation of readiness,

should repetitively practice the exercises using only the Main Text after completing the Solutions at least once.

To restart or rebuild the requisite infrastructure, perform only the redo exercises Q prior to practicing exercises in Unit 8 and above.
