Leverage networked storage connectivity by integrating a layer of intelligence – the SAN Volume Controller (SVC) – to facilitate storage application data access independence from storage management functions and requirements. Focus on planning and implementation tasks associated with integrating the SVC into the Storage Area Network (SAN). Centralize storage provisioning to host servers from common storage pools. Facilitate the coexistence and migration of data from non-virtualized to the virtualized environment. Utilize network-level storage subsystem independent data replication services to satisfy backup and disaster recovery requirements.
Note: The lecture content of this course is identical to that of SAN Volume Controller (SVC) – Planning and Implementation (SN82). This course provides hands-on exercises for those individuals who do not have ready access to an SVC cluster.
Course contents:
