Description
Implementing
Advanced Cisco Storage Networking Solutions (IASNS) v3.2.3 is a 5-day
lecture/lab course that provides learners with advanced skills in
implementing and troubleshooting Cisco storage networks.
IASNS v3.2.3 focuses on advanced storage networking topics for the
Cisco MDS Family of switches, including building virtual SAN fabrics,
building heterogeneous SAN fabrics, configuring management and security
services, configuring iSCSI, and advanced troubleshooting skills. A
significant portion of the course is devoted to troubleshooting.
The course enables the student to implement advanced Cisco MDS 9000
technologies and features that apply primarily to enterprise SANs, and
troubleshoot common SAN problems and configuration errors.
IASNS v3.2.3 merges CASI and a portion of the Internet SCSI (iSCSI) content formerly found in CMSE.
SKYLINE-ATS Course Enhancements
- Lab equipment running SAN-OS 3.2.3
- Incorporating VMware Virtual Machines into a storage network
- Implementing NPIV to enable individual zoning of virtual machines
- Booting a virtual machine from a storage network
Skyline-ATS course enhancements are our way of
improving Cisco courses to include the latest cutting-edge technologies
critical to your success. Labs and technology demonstrations found here
will not be found in the standard Cisco class you are likely to receive
at a non-Skyline training facility. Skyline-ATS remains committed to
providing today's storage engineer the latest technology innovations.
IASNS v3.2.3 includes additional supplemental content covering:
- New Hardware Platforms
- MDS 9222i Multiservice Modular Switch
- MDS 18/4-Port Multiservice Module
- MDS 9124/9134 Multilayer Fabric Switch
- New Feature Set
- Storage Media Encryption (SME)
- Data Mobility Manager (DMM)
- N_Port Identifier Virtualization (NPIV)
- N-Port Virtualizer (NPV)
Objectives
After completing this course the student should be able to:
- Given a detailed Fibre Channel SAN design specification, the
learner will be able to implement a SAN with multiple virtual fabrics
using the full range of features and capabilities provided by the Cisco
MDS platform, so that the SAN demonstrates high availability,
scalability, performance, and interoperability.
- Given a detailed set of Fibre Channel SAN management
requirements, the learner will be able to configure and use fabric
management, performance management, and security services on the Cisco
MDS platform, so that the SAN can be effectively managed, tuned, and
secured.
- Given a set of observable symptoms on a Fibre Channel SAN,
the learner will be able to diagnose and correct software configuration
issues and inoperable hardware components, so that the problems are
resolved with minimal disruption to the SAN environment.
- Given a set of requirements for an iSCSI implementation, the
learner will be able to identify and configure the appropriate iSCSI
features to meet the requirements.
