OnlineCourse Details
The ONTAP 9 Data Protection Administration (DATAPROT9) course was designed to teach the core technologies of ONTAP Data protection administration. You will learn how to implement and manage SnapMirror, SnapVault, and SnapLock technology which are used to replicate and restore mission-critical data in the enterprise.
The course also surveys real-world scenarios and use cases to teach you when to use each of the NetApp protection solutions. Backup and restore operations are taught using the command line and OnCommand System Manager.
Objectives
By the end of this course, you should be able to:
- Describe the ONTAP 9 data protection features
- Understand the various data mirroring relationships available with ONTAP 9
- Configure and operate SnapMirror and SnapVault data replication
- Demonstrate Storage Virtual Machine data protection
- Explain the components and configuration involved with SyncMirror and MetroCluster
- Describe NDMP protocol operation, configuration and management
- Pre/Post Assessment
