Duration: 5 Days

In this course, you will gain thorough exposure to performance on the VNX Unified Storage platform. You will focus on the use of Unisphere Analyzer, Navisphere Secure CLI, and File server_stats to gather performance statistics from the VNX Unified, and the analysis of those performance statistics. You will also learn to gather performance statistics utilizing different workload patterns, RAID and disk types. You will cover in detail the performance implications of using Block Replication Software (SnapView, MirrorView and SAN Copy) and File-related Features (SnapSure, Data Deduplication, and Replicator). The course includes extensive hands-on labs and currently supports VNX Block OE R31.5 and File OE 7.0.35.

What You Will Learn

 

  • VNX Unified performance using metrics and workload analysis
  • Use Block and File performance tools for analysis and troubleshooting
  • Performance implications regarding different disk and RAID types
  • File-related performance considerations including AVM functionality
  • Block-related performance considerations including FAST and FAST cache
  • Impact of using File features such as SnapSure, Replicator, and Data Deduplication
  • Performance considerations when using SnapView and Clones
  • Impact in using SAN Copy and MirrorView on an application
