Another elective exam has been added to the LPIC-3 certification from LPI (Linux Professional Institute). The Virtualization and High Availability exam (LPI-304) joins the Mixed Environments (LPI-302) and Security (LPI-303) exam as options that can be combined with the core exam (LPI-301) to gain the LPIC-3 certification.
Available through both Prometric and VUE testing sites, the Virtualization and High Availability exam focuses on the following objectives and weighting (each weight is equivalent to slightly less than 2 percent):
