ONTAP MetroCluster Installation
Duration: 2 Days
Course Code: MCCIIW
Prerequisite:
• ONTAP Cluster Administration (ONTAP9ADM) and ONTAP Data Protection Administration (DATAPROT9) OR
• ONTAP Cluster Administration and Data Protection Bundle (CDOTDP9)
• Basic SAN knowledge
• Completion of ONTAP PS Professional Compliance Program or an equivalent program
Course Description:
MetroCluster software is a unique high-availability and disaster-recovery solution. In this course, you learn how to cable and set up a MetroCluster environment. Using active, participatory exercises, you practice the configuration and verification steps. You also learn how to identify component failures and practice recovery steps.
Course Objective:
This course focuses on enabling you to do the following:
• Describe the major architectural components of a MetroCluster environment
• Cable nodes, back-end FC switches and FibreBridge devices
• Set up bridges and back-end FC switches
• Configure the clusters at both sites in a MetroCluster environment
• Set up a MetroCluster configuration and serve data to clients
• Detect and recover from failures in a MetroCluster environment
• Install and configure Tiebreaker software
Intended Audience:
NetApp employees, partner professional service implementation engineers and customers
