This Scale Out Network Attached Storage (SONAS) training course covers details and usage of the SONAS product. Hands-on exercises include configuration aspects of the product using the command line interface (CLI) and the graphical user interface (GUI). You will create shares on the SONAS and verify file access from Windows and Linux clients. You will also learn to configure the SONAS storage and file systems, Backup with TSM, automated storage tiering with information lifecycle management (ILM) and hierarchical storage management (HSM) along with asynchronous replication between two SONAS systems.
By attending Scale Out Network Attached Storage (SONAS) workshop, delegates will learn to:
- Identify SONAS hardware and software architecture in terms of a high level view
- Recognize the various SONAS hardware configuration elements
- Classify the elements of the SONAS Graphical User Interface (GUI)
- Classify the elements of the SONAS Command Line Interface (CLI)
- Recall the supported SONAS authentication concepts
- Summarize the GPFS concepts and features that are supported with SONAS
