SAN Volume Controller (SVC) - Planning & Implementation training course is designed to leverage SAN storage connectivity by integrating a layer of intelligence in virtualization. The SAN Volume Controller (SVC) facilitates storage application data access independence from storage management functions and requirements. This course focus is on planning and implementation tasks associated with integrating the SVC into the storage area network.
By attending SAN Volume Controller (SVC) - Planning & Implementation workshop, delegates will learn to:
- Distinguish the concepts of IBM Spectrum virtualization.
- Recall the history for IBM SAN Volume Controller.
- Classify the characteristics and components of the IBM SAN Volume Controller system and SAS attached expansion enclosures.
- Outline setups required to integrate an SVC system solution.
- Compare the characteristics of the RAID and DRAID.
- Summarize the SVC systems ability to scale for capacity and performance.
- Summarize the virtualization process converting physical storage space into virtual resources.
- Recall the process to create host access storage on an SVC system.
- Differentiate the advanced software features designed to simplify data management, reclaim storage space, and preserve storage investments.
- Differentiate methods in which to migrate data to and from the virtualized system environment.
- Summarize the methods of remote data replications to improve availability and support for disaster recovery.
- Employ administrative operations to manage, monitor, and troubleshoot the system. environment.
- Summarize the characteristics of IBM Storage Insights ability to identify, troubleshoot and minimize potential system downtime.
- Attend a training on Introduction to Storage or equivalent practical knowledge
- A basic understanding on the concepts of open systems, disk storage systems and I/O operations.
This SAN Volume Controller (SVC) - Planning & Implementation class is for individuals who are assessing and/or planning to deploy networked storage virtualization solutions.
