Duration: 5 Days
In this course, you will gain the knowledge required to deploy and manage Symmetrix-based local and remote replication solutions for your business continuity needs. Operational details and implementation considerations for EMC TimeFinder, SRDF, and Open Replicator are covered.
Hands-on lab exercises using Symmetrix Command Line Interface (SYMCLI) and Symmetrix Management Console (SMC) provide you with the opportunity to learn and validate the material covered in the lectures. Lab exercises are performed on Open Systems hosts (IBM/AIX, HP-UX, Sun Solaris with Veritas Volume Manager, and Windows 2003) SAN attached to Symmetrix VMAX series arrays.
What You Will Learn
- Perform TimeFinder/Clone and TimeFinder/Snap operations with SYMCLI and SMC
- Perform SRDF operations in Synchronous (SRDF/S) and Asynchronous (SRDF/A) modes using SYMCLI and SMC
- Perform SRDF/Automated Replication (SRDF/AR) operations in a single-hop configuration
- Perform Open Replicator for Symmetrix (ORS) data replication in hot/cold, push, and pull scenarios
Audience
Any individual involved in implementing and managing local and remote replication solutions for business continuity using TimeFinder, SRDF, and Open Replicator in an Open Systems environment.
