NetApp - Configuring and Monitoring NetApp E-Series and EF-Series Storage Systems (CMESERIES)

Configuring and Monitoring NetApp E-Series and EF-Series Storage Systems (CMESERIES)

Kurssprache ist Deutsch, die Unterlagen sind in englischer Sprache (teilweise in digitaler Form).

In this course, you learn how to recommend configurations based on a pre-deployment assessment for a new NetApp E-Series or EF-Series storage system. In the deployment phase, you use both the NetApp SANtricity® storage management (v11.30) and system management software to create the configuration, perform administrative tasks and employ data protection features. During post-deployment, you use SANtricity system management software to collect storage system information for trend analysis, troubleshooting, performance monitoring and tuning.

Hinweis: Dieses Seminar führen wir in Kooperation mit der Fast Lane GmbH durch.
