Managing NAS and Performance on Clustered Data ONTAP Course Number: 13419 Category: Technical Duration: 5 days

Overview 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.

Objectives Lesson objectives help students become comfortable with the course, and also provide a means to evaluate learning. Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:  Describe CIFS and NFS protocols  Describe configuration in the clustered Data ONTAP operating system  Use the Data ONTAP PowerShell Toolkit to write PowerShell scripts  Use Data ONTAP operating system to configure home directories  Review performance management for CIFS and NFS environments  Explain troubleshooting techniques for NetApp storage systems and for clients who use the CIFS and NFS protocols  Describe how data flows through the network and protocol layers of clustered Data ONTAP  Define performance-related terms and describe basic methodologies  Identify the methods that can be used to monitor and analyze storage system performance  Explain how methods and tools can be used to collect performance data  Use command output to analyze system performance  Use command output from case studies to identify performance bottlenecks  Implement configuration for recommended practices for resiliency and performance  Locate resources and information that help you maximize system performance
