Course overview
In this training, you will learn how to configure and manage Netapp ONTAP clusters and work from the command-line only. Many day to day administrative tasks will be dealt with, theoretically and practically. There will be no fiddling around. Every module has the same layout: topic discussion, practical example(s), review. There will be a reference to the exam-topics as well, to help you study for the NCDA-exam.
1. Overview
– What is a cluster
– What is physical storage and what is logical storage
– What is an SVM
– Which protocols are supported

Here's what you will learn
- Administer an ONTAP cluster on the command-line. You will be able to perform any day-to-day task as well as to tackle more advanced challenges.
- Be better prepared for the NCDA exam.
- Learn how ONTAP functions.
- Learn how to create aggregates, volumes and also how to share volumes and create luns in volumes.
- Understand Storage Efficiency techniques like deduplication, compression and compaction.
- Learn to set up cluster peering, SVM peering and snapmirror relationships.
- Understand the concept of Metro-Cluster.
