I was in the first RH401 course that they offered to the public, and being the first there were some rough edges in the courseware and the labs. Most of which should be polished by now.
For the most part it was good, the part on failover and load balancing seemed to be targeted for people with very little exposure to it. I run a piranha cluster and didn't learn anything new in the lesson about piranha, (however I did talking with other students as you may expect). The labs for the HA stuff builds upon itself until you have a system like this: 1 Fibrechannel storage array hooked up to 2 NFS servers using Cluster Manager to make the NFS shares HA 2 Webservers getting data from the HA NFS share 2 Piranha directors Load balancing the web servers. The beginning of the class also has good information about how to manage thousands of machines while keeping your sanity. using CVS for keeping versions of config files, writing scripts to distribute the files, and packaging the scripts in RPM's that can be distributed with the RHN. There is a chapter on performance tuning 101. The part about that class that I didn't like is when we were using Red Hat Network Proxy Server/Satellite Server to supply custom channels to distribute our own RPMS. It was a huge sales pitch, and one of those things where the pricing is an enigma, we still didn't get a clear price from Red Hat before we left on Thursday. Overall it was a good class, but watch out for the sales pitch.
