Course Overview
This 5 day course comprises the ONTAP Cluster Administration (ONTAP9ADM) followed by the 2 day ONTAP Data Protection Administration (DATAPROT9) courses.
The first 3 days uses lecture and hands-on exercises to teach the basic administration tasks of an ONTAP 9.16 cluster. You use the cluster shell and OnCommand System Manager to manage storage and network resources. ONTAP Cluster Administration is an intermediate course in a comprehensive learning path for NetApp customers, partners and employees.
Students spend the final 2 days Exploring key concepts and techniques for protecting data on NetApp® ONTAP® based storage systems. Learning about the data protection solutions that are integrated in ONTAP software and examining the tools to manage ONTAP data protection features. In the hands-on exercises, use NetApp ONTAP System Manager and the ONTAP CLI to perform key data protection tasks. This course is updated for ONTAP 9.16.1 software.
