Managing HPE 3PAR StoreServ - Management and Local Replication

( Duration: 3 Days )

This Managing HPE 3PAR StoreServ - Management & Local Replication training course is designed for the new or entry-level HPE 3PAR administrator. The goal of the class is to acquaint the 3PAR administrator with the most common day-to-day tasks and best practices associated with administration of the 3PAR array. The levels of provisioning storage are emphasized.

By attending Managing HPE 3PAR StoreServ - Management & Local Replication workshop, delegates will learn to:

  • Explain the HPE 3PAR current hardware offerings: 20000 series, 8000 series, and7000 series
  • Explain the numbering schemes for the HPE3PAR hardware components: controllers, ports, and physical disks
  • Use the StoreServ Management Console(SSMC) GUI and the CLI to perform administrative tasks
  • Create and work with a Common Provisioning Group (CPG)
  • Administer Virtual Volumes using the SSMC and the CLI
  • Understand the advantages of Thin Provisioning and create a Thin Provisioned Virtual Volume (TPVV)
  • Understand the advantages of Dedup and Compression for storage allocated from SSDs
  • Export and un-export virtual volumes from hosts
  • Use HPE 3PARinfo to analyze luns presented to hosts
  • Use Host Explorer to simplify addition of hosts
  • Use Host Sets and Volume Sets to simplify provisioning storage
  • Create a Snapshot and promote (restore)from a Snapshot
  • Create a Clone and promote a Clone
  • Convert a Virtual Volume (i.e. from fully provisioned to thin provisioned or thin provisioned to thin dedup or vice versa)
  • Use the SSMC reporting feature to monitor capacity and performance

  • An understanding of general storage concepts including fibre channel technology and RAID
  • Operator level functionality in a Windows environment

The Managing HPE 3PAR StoreServ - Management & Local Replication class is ideal for:

  • Anyone who provides installation and/or operational support assistance for HPE StoreEasy and 3PAR StoreServ File Controller Servers.
