Summary: Microsoft® Windows® 2000 Clustering Part 3- Maintenance CBT
Review: Course Overview
This is the final course in a three part series that provides students with conceptual background practice in routine and unplanned maintenance of Cluster Services. The student will learn how to use command-line utilities, scripting, and the GUI to manage cluster resources to accommodate growth or respond to system failure. Equal emphasis should be placed on instructing students in why tasks are done as is given to how they should be done.

Identify how to configure and add resources to a cluster by using command-line utilities, Visual Studio 6.0 scripting, and GUI and configure resource properties.
Identify how to manage cluster nodes and cluster storage of a cluster.
Identify how to optimize resource groups and the Cluster service on a cluster.
Identify how to troubleshoot the failure on a cluster and implement disaster recover methods.
