SAN Volume Controller Planning and Implementation Workshop (SN83E0DE)
Format
Classroom Course with LAB
Duration
4,0 Day(s)
Description
Leverage networked storage connectivity by integrating a layer of intelligence - the SAN Volume Controller (SVC) - to facilitate storage application data access independence from storage management functions and requirements. Focus on planning and implementation tasks associated with integrating the SVC into the Storage Area Network (SAN). Centralize storage provisioning to host servers from common storage pools. Facilitate the coexistence and migration of data from non-virtualized to the virtualized environment. Utilize network-level storage subsystem independent data replication services to satisfy backup and disaster recovery requirements.
Note: The lecture content of this course is identical to that of SAN Volume Controller (SVC) - Planning and Implementation Workshop (SN825). SN825 provides hands-on exercises for those individuals who do not have ready access to an SVC cluster.
Audience
This is an intermediate course for individuals who assess storage network virtualization solutions or who plan to deploy storage network virtualization solutions.
Prerequisites
You should complete:
Introduction to Storage Networking (SN70G) or have equivalent knowledge
Create an implementation task list to integrate the SVC solution into the storage network fabric
Establish or update zoning policies to enable the SVC to control storage device access and facilitate storage provisioning to host servers
Utilize SVC user interfaces to manage the networked storage environment, assign storage to servers, migrate data, replicate data across storage subsystems, and monitor storage access activities
Assess issues related to coexistence between the SVC and native disk storage access across host servers
Migrate existing data to the virtualized SVC environment
Use interfaces provided by the Subsystem Device Driver (SDD) to monitor and manage SDD multipath Input/Output (I/O) access and path management
