🔧
Configure HA Cluster

Install Pacemaker/Corosync manually or via Ansible, configure cluster quorum options for split-brain protection.

⚔️
STONITH Fencing

Configure fence_ipmilan and other fence agents, test fencing, ensure all nodes can fence all others.

8
HA domains covering every Pacemaker clustering skill tested in the EX436 exam.
💾
iSCSI & LVM HA Storage

Configure iSCSI initiators, create shared storage, configure multipath, shared LVM, and HA LVM devices.

🔄
Fail-Over Services, Constraints & GFS2

Configure clustered fail-over services with resource groups, shared storage, and virtual IPs. Restrict service placement with location constraints and configure failover ordering. Create and manage GFS2 shared filesystems across all cluster nodes simultaneously with per-node journals.

Cluster Logging & Monitoring

Configure cluster logging per node, forward to journald, create monitoring resources, configure alerts and email notifications.

📁
GFS2 Filesystems

Create GFS2 on LVs, configure shared multi-node mounting, manage GFS2, add journals for additional nodes.

Why EX436

The Trusted Certification for Mission-Critical RHEL High Availability

Pacemaker and Corosync power high-availability services at banks, telcos, and enterprise data centres where downtime is not an option. EX436 certifies you can build and manage those clusters.

HA Clustering Underpins Mission-Critical Services

Banks, telcos, and hospitals run their most critical Linux services on Pacemaker HA clusters. EX436 certifies you can build and manage those clusters reliably.

Performance-Based Live Exam on Real Clusters

EX436 is a hands-on exam on real RHEL systems — you install Pacemaker, configure fencing, create resources, and manage GFS2 storage under actual exam conditions.

Premium Salaries for HA Cluster Specialists

HA clustering is a rare, specialized skill. Certified Pacemaker/Corosync administrators command premium salaries at data centres, banks, and telcos.

Full 8-Domain Coverage

Our curriculum covers every EX436 objective — cluster installation, STONITH, logging, monitoring, fail-over services, service constraints, iSCSI/LVM storage, and GFS2.

Live Pacemaker 2.x Lab Environment
