Description
Implementing Cisco Storage Networking Solutions
(ICSNS) v3.0 is a 5-day lecture/lab course that provides learners with
fundamental skills in implementing and troubleshooting Cisco storage
networks.
Course topics include installing and bringing up the switch,
configuring Virtual SANs (VSANs), domains, interfaces, and zones,
implementing PortChannels, configuring management security, and basic
troubleshooting. You will also learn how to configure highly available
FCIP tunnels and tune the performance of your FCIP links.
ICSNS v3.0 enables the student to describe and configure the hardware
and software components of the Cisco MDS 9000 product family, focusing
on key technologies and features that apply to departmental, mid-range,
and enterprise SANs.
ICSNS v3.0 replaces MDS 9000 Configuration and Troubleshooting (MDSCT)
v2.2. It also contains the Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP) content
formerly found in Cisco Multiprotocol Storage Essentials (CMSE) v2.0. Objectives
After completing this course the student should be able to:
- Given a SAN environment, identify the components, services, and
features of the MDS 9000 platform that can be used to improve the
availability, scalability, performance, and manageability of the SAN.
- Given an MDS 9000 switch, safely install the switch hardware and perform the initial software configuration process.
- Given a SAN design, implement the logical topology specified
by a SAN design, so that connectivity between end devices can be
verified.
- Given a SAN design, describe the traffic management features
associated with Intelligent Network Services for the MDS 9000 series in
order to configure basic traffic management services for the SAN.
- Given a SAN environment, describe how to use FCIP to implement appropriate solutions for SAN extension.
- Given a SAN environment, identify MDS 9000 diagnostic tools in order to diagnose SAN problems and common configuration errors.
Prerequisites
- Basic understanding of data storage hardware components and protocols, including SCSI and Fibre Channel
