Training description

At this training, which is designed for 2 days, students learn the data protection functions in ONTAP. The training covers the following important topics: the data replication options available in ONTAP 9, the using process of embedded SnapMirror and SnapVault technologies, the disaster recovery process of the virtual machine for data storage, SyncMirror technology and the distributed fault-tolerant MetroCluster architecture, an overview of the NDMP protocol, the using process of NetApp cloud protection Cloud Volumes ONTAP.
During the laboratory works, students will increase their experience in configuring and administering the ONTAP data protection functions through the command line interface and through the graphical user interface of the OnCommand System Manager management system.

Intended Audience

This training will be useful to network engineers, system engineers, administrators, and any technical specialists who work with NetApp storage systems and who are interested in administering the ONTAP system.

Expected students’ skills and knowledge

To complete this training, it is recommended to have knowledge and experience with ONTAP equal to the ONTAP Cluster Administration (ONTAP 9.5) (ONTAP9ADM) and ONTAP Data Protection Fundamentals WBT courses.
