Implementing Citrix NetScaler 12 High Availability

Brought by: Pluralsight

Overview

NetScaler 12 High Availability encompasses more than simply pairing two nodes. In addition to learning the implementation process, you'll learn about and see numerous demos focused on configuration options, upgrades, and troubleshooting.

This course will expand upon what you have learned in the NetScaler 12 Getting Started course, and is the second course in the NetScaler Essentials series. In this course, Implementing Citrix NetScaler 12 High Availability, you’ll learn about High Availability. First, you'll get an overview of High Availability and how to configure an HA pair. Next, you'll discover how to select the appropriate options and the process for upgrading an HA pair. Finally, you'll explore what to do if you encounter some “uh oh” moments. By the end this second course in the series, you’ll be proficient with High Availability, including initial setup, maintenance, and upgrading the two nodes.

Topics:

Course Overview
Setting Up High Availability
Selecting Options and Upgrading an HA Pair
Troubleshooting HA
