In this part of the 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.

With this course, you will become proficient with Data ONTAP Snapshot and familiar with SnapRestore, SnapMirror, 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. Data ONTAP 7-Mode administrators will benefit from comparisons to earlier Data ONTAP versions to help them master the basics of clustered Data ONTAP. MetroCluster software is a unique high-availability and disaster-recovery solution. In the second part of this course, you learn how to cable and set up a MetroCluster environment. Using active, participatory exercises, you practice the configuration and verification steps. You also learn to identify component failures and practice recovery steps.

By the end of this ONTAP 9 & MetroCluster course, you should be able to:

Describe how ONTAP 9 fits into NetApp’s Cloud and Data Fabric strategy
Identify supported ONTAP platforms
Define ONTAP cluster components
Create a cluster
Manage ONTAP administrators
Configure and manage storage resources
Configure and manage networking resources
Describe a Storage Virtual Machine’s (SVM’s) role in NetApp’s storage architecture
Create and configure an SVM
Create and manage FlexVols
Implement storage efficiency features
Create protocol servers within an SVM
Upgrade and revert ONTAP patches and releases
Describe the levels on which ONTAP protects data
Describe the major architectural components of a MetroCluster environment in ONTAP 9

Overview

The five-day ONTAP 9 Administration & MetroCluster Installation (CDOTMC) course comprises of 2 parts, with the first part focussing on Clustered Data ONTAP Administration followed by two days looking at MetroCluster Installation. The first three days use lecture and hands-on exercises to teach basic administration of clustered Data ONTAP. In this part of the 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. With this course, you will become proficient with Data ONTAP Snapshot and familiar with SnapRestore, SnapMirror, SnapVault and NDMP technologies used to replicate and restore mission-critical data in the enterprise.
