Details: *This is a 3 day course

Description

This instructor-led course provides you with an in-depth understanding of how to manage, use, monitor and maintain a functional Invista instance. The emphasis will be on provisioning virtualized storage from Invista to hosts, and performing operations on live virtual volumes such as expansion, mobility, mirroring and cloning. The course also covers routine monitoring, maintenance and security features of an Invista instance. To provide suitable context, this course begins with a brief overview of Invista architecture, components, deployment options and integration into production environments. This is intended to provide a level-set for those who are generally quite familiar with SAN technology, but not as familiar with Invista product specifics.

Hands-on lab exercises are likely to constitute a significant portion of this 3-day course.

  • Navigate Invista Element Manager V2.1, and examine various facets of an operational instance in production
  • Provision storage elements from storage arrays to Invista, create virtual volumes, and provision virtual volumes to hosts
