This Specialist-level course is targeted for storage/cloud infrastructure administrators requiring in depth knowledge and practical lab work with EMC VNX Block Storage systems. This intensive training covers all the key elements of SAN/IP-SAN (block access). It discusses integrating VNX block access for open systems hosts (Linux, Windows and VMware ESXi) through FC, iSCSI and, FCoE connectivity options. Initial storage system configuration, domain management, security and availability using Unisphere are also covered. The course will also cover implementation of local replication solutions supported by hands-on activities. Hands-on activities include to configure Unisphere and the VNX system; provision storage, via iSCSI, to Windows and Linux hosts; implement advanced storage concepts (metaLUNs, LUN migration, FAST); configure SnapView snapshots and clones; configure Unisphere Event Monitor and Unisphere Analyzer.
This course is intended for any person who presently or plans to:
Configure, deploy and manage block-based VNX storage systems in heterogeneous host environments
