Managing NAS and Performance on Clustered Data ONTAP (NASPAD)

 

Résumé du cours

NOTE: This course combines the 1 day ONTAP NFS Administration (NFSAD), a 1 day version of ONTAP SMB Administration (CIFSAD) and the 3 day ONTAP Performance Analysis (PERFCDOT) courses. By signing up for this package, you have the flexibility to take all 3 courses in the same week or take each individual course when it fits into your schedule.

Attend this Fast Lane course and experience a 1:1 student to lab ratio

Note: ONTAP SMB Administration (CIFSAD) may be delivered as a 2 day class by other NetApp partners, however Fast Lane is currently offering as a 1 day class.

Contenu

This course is a combination of NFS, SMB (CIFS), and performance analysis courses into a single, in-depth one-week course. It provides the knowledge and skills that you need to administer SMB version 1.x to 3.x and NFS versions 3, 4, and 4.1 in a clustered Data ONTAP® operating system. You also learn the knowledge and skills that you need to collect and analyze system performance data from NetApp storage systems that are running ONTAP 9.
