Symantec Disaster Recovery using VVR 5.0 and Global cluster option (VCS 5.0) for Solaris
The Symantec Disaster Recovery Using VVR 5.0 and Global Cluster Option (VCS 5.0) for Solaris course is designed for the system administrators tasked with implementing, managing, and supporting disaster recovery environments that include VCS clusters across multiple sites with replication in between. In this 5-day, instructor-led, hands-on course, you learn the fundamentals of data replication and become proficient in planning, implementing, and managing the Veritas Volume Replicator component of your disaster recovery strategy. You then use Veritas Volume Replicator in cluster environments together with Veritas Cluster Server for disaster recovery purposes.

Describe Veritas Volume Replicator-specific concepts and components.
Develop a plan and implement Veritas Volume Replicator.
Initialize, synchronize, and replicate sample data.
Perform a takeover, a migration, and a failback.
Use a bunker site for disaster recovery.
Perform off-host processing at the secondary replication site.
Troubleshoot a replicated data environment.
Configure a global cluster using the VCS Global Cluster Option.
Manage a global cluster environment, including remote clusters, global heartbeats, and global service groups.
Configure notification and failover behavior in a global cluster.
Describe how VCS supports replication.
Implement and manage replication in a global cluster.
