Course Objectives
This course uses lecture and hands-on exercises to teach basic administration of clustered Data ONTAP®. In this course, you will configure and manage a Data ONTAP cluster. You will practice working with Data ONTAP features and managing your storage systems with the CLI and UI interfaces. This course also discusses network management fundamentals, basic protocols that are used to access your data, and how to protect, manage, and monitor your clustered storage environment. Become proficient with Data ONTAP Snapshot®, SnapRestore®, SnapMirror®, SnapVault®, Open Systems SnapVault, and NDMP technologies used to replicate and restore mission-critical data in the enterprise. Backup and restore operations are taught using the NetApp storage system command line and OnCommand System Manager. The course also provides an overview of the Data ONTAP 8.3 MetroCluster solution. Data ONTAP 7-Mode administrators will benefit from comparisons to earlier Data ONTAP versions to help them master the basics of clustered Data ONTAP.
By the end of this course, you should be able to:
- Identify the components of a Data ONTAP storage environment
- Install and set up a Data ONTAP cluster
- Perform basic administration on a storage system
- Configure physical and logical storage
- Configure client protocols for a simple environment
- Describe Snapshot copies and space consumption in Data ONTAP
- Discuss backup methods that are available in Data ONTAP
- Describe the process of upgrading Data ONTAP
- Describe NetApp protection technology and the NetApp integrated data-protection solutions that are supported in Clustered Data ONTAP 8.3
- Design, implement and manage Snapshot copies
- Design, implement and manage Clustered Data ONTAP 8.3 SnapMirror replication
- Design, implement and manage Clustered Data ONTAP 8.3 SnapVault replication
- Use OnCommand System Manager to set up and manage backup and restore operations
- Understand how to implement the NDMP protocol in Clustered Data ONTAP 8.3
