1 ONTAP 9 Cluster Administration Course Code: Duration: 3 Days Product Page: This 3-day, instructor led course uses lecture and hands-on exercises to teach basic administration and configuration of an ONTAP cluster. You will learn to use the cluster shell and OnCommand System Manager to manage storage and network resources. The hands-on labs allow you to practice working with ONTAP features and manage your storage and network resources using the cluster shell and OnCommand System Manager. Includes: ONTAP commands for software versions 8.3.x to 9.0 Course outline Module 1: ONTAP Overview Data Fabric ONTAP software Fabric layers The cluster Nodes High-availability pairs Networks Ports and logical interfaces ONTAP storage architecture Physical storage SVM Components Types Benefits Root volume FlexVol volumes
