In this course, you learn the basic administration tasks of a NetApp® ONTAP® 9.9 cluster. You use the clustershell and NetApp ONTAP System Manager to manage cluster storage and network resources. The course explains the configuration of basic data protection and data efficiency functions and common cluster maintenance tasks.

This course focuses on enabling you to do the following:

• Define NetApp ONTAP cluster components
• Describe the role of a storage VM (storage virtual machine, also known as SVM) in the NetApp storage architecture
• Configure an ONTAP cluster
• Configure and manage storage resources
• Configure and manage networking resources
• Create and configure a storage VM
• Create, manage, and protect NetApp FlexVol® volumes
• Implement storage efficiency features
• Manage ONTAP administrator access and user accounts
• Maintain NetApp storage systems

• Network Engineers
• Channel Partners
• System Engineers
• NetApp Customers

• ONTAP Cluster Fundamentals (Web-based training [WBT])
• Introduction to Networking in Clustered Data ONTAP (WBT)
• ONTAP NAS Fundamentals (WBT)
• ONTAP SAN Fundamentals (WBT)
