Clustered Data ONTAP Administration (DCADM)

This course uses lecture and hands-on exercises to teach basic administration of clustered Data ONTAP©. In this course you configure and manage a Data ONTAP cluster. You practice working with Data ONTAP features and managing your storage systems with the CLI and UI interfaces. This course also discusses network management fundamentals, basic protocols that are used to access your data, and how to protect, manage, and monitor your clustered storage environment. Data ONTAP 7-Mode administrators will benefit from comparisons to earlier Data ONTAP versions to help them master the basics of clustered Data ONTAP.
