NetApp - Performance Analysis on Clustered Data ONTAP (NA-PERFCDOT)

Kurssprache: Deutsch, Schulungsunterlagen: Englisch, digitale Form.
Zielgruppe: Professionals who manage NetApp storage systems and would like a deeper understanding of Clustered Data ONTAP system performance.
Kursziele: For those students who are looking for more in-depth knowledge on managing performance on Clustered Data ONTAP after completing DCADM should consider PERFCDOT. This course will teach students to use available tools such as system commands and NetApp OnCommand to collect and monitor performance data. Students will learn to use this data to identify and implement system changes that improve the efficiency of the system. Hands-on labs, case-studies, and technical discussions will take place throughout this 2-day course.

Dieses Seminar führen wir in Kooperation mit Fast Lane GmbH durch.

Inhalt:

• Module 1: How a NetApp Storage System Works
• - Describe the layers within the Data ONTAP architecture
• - List the advantages that are provided by the ability of WAFL to optimize writes

• - Discuss how the Storage Quality of Service (QoS) feature works in a clustered Data ONTAP environment
• - Identify the commands that are used to manage policy groups
• - Monitor workload performance
• Labs
• - Identify the exercise environment
• - Log in to the exercise environment
• - Add a cluster to OnCommand System Manager
• - Configure SNMP public community name
• - Identify clustered Data ONTAP components
• - Set the clustered Data ONTAP command line system timeout value (optional)
• - Examine the statistics catalog commands
• - Examine the statistics start and statistics show commands
• - Defining workload characteristics
