Cisco Advanced Storage Implementation and Troubleshooting (CASI)
rt
Who Should Attend

  • Individuals who are responsible for providing Cisco MDS 9000 based SAN Solutions
  • Individuals who are responsible for managing Cisco MDS 9000 based SAN Solutions


Prerequisites

There are no formal prerequisites; however participants will gain the most from this if they have a fundamental knowledge of:

  • Data storage components and protocols
  • Fibre Channel architectures
  • Cisco IOS and GUI interfaces
  • Successful completion of the MDS Configuration and Troubleshooting course



Course Objectives

After completing this course you will be able to:

  • Implement reliable, scalable SAN fabrics using the full range of features enabled by the MDS Family of switches, and will be able to diagnose and resolve issues using advanced diagnostic tools.
  • Given a detailed Fibre Channel SAN design specification, you will be able to implement a SAN with multiple virtual fabrics using the full range of features and capabilities provided by the Cisco MDS platform, so that the SAN demonstrates high availability, scalability, and performance.
  • Given a detailed set of Fibre Channel SAN management requirements, you will be able to configure and use fabric management, performance management, and security services on the Cisco MDS platform, so that the SAN can be effectively managed, tuned, and secured.
  • Given a set of observable symptoms on a Fibre Channel SAN, you will be able to diagnose and correct software configuration issues and inoperable hardware components, so that the problems are resolved with minimal disruption to the SAN environment.
