Course Overview

The Metro Node / Dell VPLEX Administration (D-MN-OE-23) course by Dell EMC is designed for storage administrators, systems engineers, and data center operators responsible for managing modern storage infrastructures. This training prepares candidates for the D-MN-OE-23 Dell Metro Node Operate 2023 certification exam, which validates expertise in provisioning, monitoring, and maintaining Metro node systems. Target roles include Storage Administrator, Cloud Infrastructure Engineer, and SAN Specialist. With Dell EMC solutions deployed in over 90% of Fortune 500 companies, professionals with certified skills in Metro node and VPLEX technologies are in high demand across enterprise IT environments.

Participants gain hands-on experience with core tools including Unisphere for Metro node, VPlexcli, Ansible, and the CLI environment for system health checks and performance monitoring. The lab component emphasizes real-world configuration tasks such as volume encapsulation, distributed device creation, and data migration using extent and device mobility. Students work directly in the VPlexcli command-line interface and Unisphere GUI to perform EZ provisioning, expand virtual volumes, and configure role-based access control. A key lab scenario involves executing a one-time device migration using the dm migration start command with specified transfer sizes, simulating live storage reconfiguration while maintaining system availability.

This course directly supports achievement of the Dell Metro Node Operate certification, recognized across enterprise storage environments for validating operational proficiency. Certified professionals report average salary increases of 18% and greater eligibility for roles in hybrid cloud infrastructure and disaster recovery planning.
