Description:

Become familiar with the concepts of Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) and Storage Area Network (SAN)-attached Storage Subsystems on IBM’s System p current products. Also learn to handle advanced disk administration tasks more efficiently.

This course emphasizes troubleshooting and improving availability and introduces the Data Server (DS) systems product (DS4000 / DS6000 / DS8000).

Audience:

This is an advanced course for AIX system administrators with a good understanding of basic administrative skills and a requirement to understand more advanced disk storage management concepts and configuration.

Objectives:

After completing this unit, you should be able to:
