ONTAP9ADM - ONTAP Cluster Administration 9.10

Overview

Duration: 3.0 days

In this certification & training course, you learn the basic administration tasks of a NetApp® ONTAP® 9.10 cluster. You use the clustershell and NetApp ONTAP System Manager to manage cluster storage and network resources. The course explains the configuration of basic data protection and data efficiency functions and common cluster maintenance tasks.
