Questions about this course?
This course combines CIFS, NFS, and performance analysis topics into a single, in-depth one-week course. It provides the knowledge and skills that you need to administer CIFS version 1.x to 2.x and NFS versions 3, 4, and 4.1 in a clustered Data ONTAP® operating system. You also learn the skills you need to collect and analyze performance data from NetApp® storage systems.
- The courses below are recommended before attending the Manage NAS and Performance on clustered Data ONTAP class.
- Clustered Data ONTAP Administration or
- ONTAP 9 Cluster Administration and Data Protection (CDOTDP9)
