(BNCA) Basic NetApp Configuration and Administration Training

Course 1631

  • Duration: 2 days
  • Language: English
  • Level: Foundation

Learn how to configure the basic technologies of the NetApp Data ONTAP® operating system—clustered Data ONTAP and Data ONTAP operating in 7-Mode. Through lectures and hands-on exercises, learn how to create aggregates, storage virtual machines (SVMs), virtual interfaces (VIFs), FlexVol® volumes, qtrees, Snapshot® copies, and more.

NOTE: The term “storage virtual machine (SVM)” is equivalent to the term “virtual server (Vserver)”.
