Hello Thomas,
I’ve been recently a bit tangled up, so it may be my points have been discussed 
in the oast and I missed it. If so, sorry for redundancy.

After studying the objectives I am missing multipath. As we are dealing with 
High Availability for Network, Storage and even resources, I think 
accessibility for iSCSI or FC should be addressed, too.

Betreff: Re: [lpi-examdev] LPIC-305 High Availability

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

Hello again,

you might have noticed that the proposal on the pure virtualization 304 exam 
left some spare objectives on High Availability. Another outcome of a lot of 
the discussions we've had around this was that we should keep High Availability 
in LPIC-3 but consider making it an own exam.

Here is how a pure High Availability exam could be similar to:

  https://wiki.lpi.org/wiki/LPIC-305_Objectives_V3.0

The diff to 304v2 is here:

  
https://wiki.lpi.org/pubwiki/index.php?title=LPIC-305_Objectives_V3.0&type=revision&diff=&oldid=5138

Besides some small changes, mostly in the field of Pacemaker, you'll see that 
we've added distributed storage to this exam. One might argue this is again a 
rather arbitrary combination just like the old 304 exam; however, storage is an 
important component of any HA stack and, in return, any highly available 
storage requires certain HA measures. Feel free to discuss this combination.

Please note that this draft is not complete yet, it *DOES NEED YOUR FEEDBACK*. 
There are eight weights which are not assigned to a real objective yet. 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. My concern is that there is not the 
'one', most prominent tool in that area. Just take backup as an example, what 
should we cover, Bacula, Bareos, Amanda, BackupPC? And once you have touched 
Veeam+VMware, would you still prefer the open source tools (this is no 
statement about my personal preferences, btw)?

Where would you like these weights to be put? Remember, this will be a new 
exam, so we can do ANYTHING we want :)

Finally, I would be interested in knowing you thoughts on the term SRE and if 
we should try to leverage this buzzword's momentum for the new 305 exam.

Fabian
