(CDOTDP9) ONTAP 9 Cluster Administration and Data Protection Bundle Training

Course 1630

  • Duration: 5 days
  • Language: English
  • Level: Foundation

The first 3 days use lectures and hands-on exercises to teach basic administration and configuration of a cluster. 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.

Students spend the final 2 days learning 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.

Learning Tree Training Vouchers cannot be used to pay for the tuition fee for this course.

This course is delivered by a Learning Tree-approved training partner.
