Hi, there, and welcome to Pluralsight. This module is entitled Manage Failover

2
00:00:04,660 --> 00:00:10,910
Clustering. I'm Tim Warner. We have a number of learning objectives all

3
00:00:10,910 --> 00:00:14,900
aligned, as you know if you've been following this series, to exam AZ‑801.

4
00:00:14,900 --> 00:00:19,820
We're going to learn in this module how cluster‑aware updating works. We'll

5
00:00:19,820 --> 00:00:25,330
actually do failovers and failbacks. The exam objectives there are recover a

6
00:00:25,330 --> 00:00:30,410
failed cluster note. And we have kind of a grab bag of additional miscellaneous

7
00:00:30,410 --> 00:00:34,540
Windows Server failover clustering tasks. There's upgrading nodes to Windows

8
00:00:34,540 --> 00:00:36,240
Server 2022.

9
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,240
There is, as I mentioned, failover and failback.

10
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,850
There's installing Windows updates on cluster nodes. That kind of

11
00:00:42,850 --> 00:00:46,510
circles back to cluster‑aware updating. And then lastly,

12
00:00:46,510 --> 00:00:50,440
a little bit on Windows Admin Center, which is one of the many

13
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:54,140
first‑party Windows Server management tools.

14
00:00:54,140 --> 00:00:56,630
Hopefully, you've been following this course sequentially,

15
00:00:56,630 --> 00:01:00,240
Implement and Manage Windows Server High Availability.

16
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,940
This five‑module course is one of a series of courses to support

17
00:01:03,940 --> 00:01:09,110
exam AZ‑801, as I mentioned. This course is really all about

18
00:01:09,110 --> 00:01:13,840
failover clustering, as you can see, implementing, configuring,

19
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,740
managing, and, but wait,

20
00:01:15,740 --> 00:01:21,440
there's more, more managing. And then finally, there's Storage Spaces Direct.

21
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,080
So my goal as your instructor is really twofold. By

22
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:25,470
the time you finish this course,

23
00:01:25,470 --> 00:01:29,010
I want to make sure you're cool and that you've got, well, you're cool anyway,

24
00:01:29,010 --> 00:01:32,350
but that's another story, I want to make sure that you're all leveled up

25
00:01:32,350 --> 00:01:37,160
with this stuff because it factors in heavily on exam AZ‑801. But just as

26
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,720
importantly, I want you to leave this course with a nice, wide‑spectrum

27
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:45,660
understanding of Windows Server high availability, as it's offered to us

28
00:01:45,660 --> 00:01:49,590
from Microsoft with failover clustering, Storage Spaces Direct, and

29
00:01:49,590 --> 00:01:55,000
cluster‑aware updating. But let's get into the content, shall we?
