CLARiiON Remote Replication Advanced Workshop (CLRRET)

This course is intended for EMC Implementation personnel, ASN partners, and customers who presently or plan to:

• Implement remote data replication solutions in a CLARiiON environment
• Utilize FC and FC/IP technologies

To understand the content and successfully complete this course, a student should have knowledge and skills associated with the following:

• Basic understanding of Microsoft Windows and Unix/Linux administration and operation
• A comprehensive understanding of CLARiiON storage systems and EMC SnapView
• A basic understanding of EMC’s MirrorView and SAN Copy software
• PowerPath performance, transparent recovery and availability features in an open systems host environment
• SAN terminology, features, architecture, theory of operations, and management including Fibre Channel and IP Storage networks concepts and EMC Connectrix switches
• A basic understanding of the TCP/IP protocol suite, and IP addressing

A list of specific prerequisite courses can be found in EMC Education Services Learning Management System

This expert level workshop focuses on the deployment of CLARiiON Remote Replication Software in a FLARE 28 environment. The skills taught here are useful for environments requiring data migration and/or disaster recovery solutions. Extensive hands-on labs are provided for MirrorView/S, MirrorView/A, SAN Copy, Incremental SAN Copy and FC/IP implementations.

Upon successful completion of this course, participants should be able to:

• Configure SAN Copy and Incremental SAN Copy for CLARiiON to CLARiiON data transfer
• Manage and monitor SAN Copy sessions
• Configure MirrorView/A and MirrorView/S for CLARiiON to CLARiiON data transfer
• Manage and monitor MirrorView/A and MirrorView/S mirrors
• Configure and manage MirrorView Consistency Groups
• Discuss differences and similarities between FC/IP protocols
• Configure a Connectrix MP-1620M switch to support remote data replication
• Configure a Connectrix MDS9000 family switch to support remote data replication
• Apply stated best practices when implementing remote replication solutions on CLARiiON storage systems
• Configure and test FCIP connectivity
• Configure and test iFCP connectivity
