5 Day ONTAP Cluster Administration and Data Protection Training Bootcamp
What will I learn in the ONTAP Cluster Administration and Data Protection Bootcamp?
This 5-Day Bootcamp combines these these two ONTAP Courses: ONTAP Cluster Administration (ONTAP9ADM) and ONTAP Data Protection Administration (DATAPROT9).
This is an in-depth hands-on learning class teaching the basic administration tasks of an ONTAP 9.11 cluster and the cluster shell and OnCommand System Manager to manage storage and network resources. You then move on to learning about the different data protection solutions that are integrated into ONTAP software, including the SyncMirror, SnapMirror, Storage Virtual Machine (SVM) Disaster Recovery, and SnapVault Solutions. The course also provides an overview of ONTAP MetroCluster Configuration, NDMP, and Cloud-Based Data Protection with NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP and NetApp Data Availability Services.
You also learn about the tools for managing ONTAP data protection features. You will use NetApp OnCommand System Manager and the CLI to complete key data protection tasks. The course also provides an overview of the ONTAP MetroCluster High-Availability and Disaster Recovery Software Solution.
