Course Overview
TopDeploy reliable, available critical production services in a high availability cluster
In the Red Hat High Availability Clustering (RH436) course, you will learn how to provide highly available network services to a mission-critical enterprise environment through the deployment and management of shared storage and server clusters. Created for senior Linux system administrators, this 4-day course strongly emphasizes lab-based activities.
You will set up a cluster of systems running the Pacemaker component of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux High-Availability Add-On, and deploy Linux-based services such as web servers and databases on that cluster. Cluster storage components from the Resilient Storage Add-On are also covered; installations and applications that require multiple cluster nodes can access the same storage simultaneously. This includes Logical Volume Manager (LVM) Shared Volume Groups, Red Hat Global File System 2 (GFS2), and Device-Mapper Multipath.
This course is based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.3.
Note: Starting January 1, 2026, Red Hat introduces RHLS-Course — a flexible subscription model now included with this catalog offering. This replaces the previous direct virtual class enrollment from Global Knowledge.
When you purchase this item, you’ll receive an RHLS subscription at the course level, giving you the freedom to choose the schedule that works best and self-enroll in your selected class.
Your RHLS subscription includes:
• One live, instructor-led virtual session
• 12 months of self-paced learning access
• One certification exam with a free retake
Onsite Classroom-based sessions and closed course options remain unchanged.

- Isolating malfunctioning cluster nodes
- Isolate unresponsive cluster nodes to protect data and recover services and resources after a failure.
- Creating and configuring resources
- Create basic resources and resource groups to provide highly available services.
- Troubleshooting high availability clusters
- Identify, diagnose, and fix cluster issues.
- Automating cluster and resource deployment
- Deploy a new high availability cluster and cluster resources using Ansible automation.
- Managing two-node clusters
- Operate two-node clusters while identifying and avoiding issues specific to a two-node cluster configuration.
- Accessing iSCSI storage
- Configure iSCSI initiators on your servers to access block-based storage devices provided by network storage arrays or Ceph storage clusters.
- Accessing storage devices resiliently
- Configure resilient access to storage devices that have multiple access paths.
- Configuring LVM in clusters
- Select, configure, and manage the correct LVM configuration for use in your cluster.
- Providing storage with the GFS2 cluster file system
