Hello, I just wanted to point out that there is an updated version of the LPIC-305 objectives draft:
https://wiki.lpi.org/pubwiki/index.php?title=LPIC-305_Objectives_V3.0 This draft no longer contains the disaster discovery topic as we were not able to identify a clear set of commonly used tools. Instead, we increased the weight of several objectives (namely 351.1, 351.2, 351.3, 353.1, 353.2, 354.3 and 354.4) where we would like to go into more details. The following changes were made compared to the initial version of the draft: * cLVM was dropped from 352.1 * DRBD was extended in 352.1 to also cover quorum and handler for split brain and fencing * QUESTION: What's you opinion on LINSTOR? For now, we test knowledge of its architecture and features, but we don't go into any details in this revision since the tool is quite new. Would you go into more details? * Replacing failed bricks and recovering from physical media failure is now included in 353.1 * ceph-volumes and concepts of ceph updates were added to 353.2 * 354.3 was extended to also cover extending, growing, shrinking and moving LVM volumes as well as managing LVM pools * 354.4 now includes systemd-networkd and the implementation of BGP for internal high availability (assigning floating IPs) * Pacemaker integration of various topics is now consolidated in 351.3 So far, this draft has not received any feedback on this list. I'd be glad to get some opinions on this proposal, so please feel free to speak up :) Fabian On Tue, Mar 5, 2019 at 10:04 AM Fabian Thorns <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello again, > > you might have noticed that the proposal on the pure virtualization 304 > exam left some spare objectives on High Availability.

I've parked them in the potential topic 'Backup and Disaster > Recovery', but I am not sure whether or not that is a good idea.
