Implementing VMware vSphere on Data ONTAP

Course code: IMPVMVS

Duration: 3 Days

Prerequisites: 

•    ONTAP Cluster Administration (ONTAP 9.6) (ONTAP9ADM)
•    ONTAP Data Protection Administration (ONTAP 9.6) (DATAPROT9)
•    Data ONTAP SAN Implementation (SANIMP)
•    VMware vSphere: Install, Configure, Manage (Version 5.1) (VICM)
 
Course Description:

Implementing Microsoft Hyper-V on Data ONTAP (IMPMSHV) is a 2 day course where you will learn how to design and implement virtualization solutions on NetApp® storage systems using Microsoft Hyper-V. You will also discover how to deploy the Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 virtual infrastructure on Data ONTAP storage. 

Course Objectives: 

•    Describe the VMware vSphere 6.0 virtualization solution
•    Articulate the NetApp value proposition for integrating clustered Data ONTAP with vSphere 6.0
•    Configure physical and virtual infrastructures
•    Use the clustered Data ONTAP operating system to provision virtual infrastructure
•    Create, migrate, and clone virtual machines
•    Describe the Virtual Volumes datastore-management process
•    Protect virtual infrastructure
•    Monitor and optimize virtual infrastructure
•    Describe best practice for connectivity, provisioning, data layout, and multipathing
•    Describe how deduplication, compression, and thin provisioning provide storage savings in a virtual environment
 
Intended Audience:

NetApp employees, channel partners, and customers
