Online Lab Overview
Online labs are optional, instructor-facilitated hands-on lab exercises for
those Video-ILT learners requiring further practical experience.
This online lab explores lab scenarios based on the Symmetrix VMAX
Configuration Management Video ILT. The session does not cover
concepts, but rather provides a lab environment where participants
can validate skills and concepts covered in the Video-ILT. During this
online lab session, participants will learn how to configure a
Symmetrix and prepare it for host access. Use of the Symmetrix
Command Line interface (SYMCLI) on the Symmetrix V-Max Series
Array, configuring changes with the Unisphere for VMAX GUI, and
creating, mapping, and masking of devices to traditional and
VMware ESXi servers will be included in the lab material. Other topics
include Autoprovisioning, Virtual Provisioning, Virtual LUN migration for
regular and thin devices, Fully Automated Storage Tiering (FAST) for
disk groups and Virtual Pools, and Federated Tiered Storage.
Successful completion of the Symmetrix VMAX Configuration
Management Video-ILT and all prerequisites will prepare participants
for the pre-course assessment test. Completion of the pre-course
assessment test is required in order to register for this online lab
course.
Audience
This course is intended for EMC personnel, customers and partners
who:
Configure Symmetrix devices
Use Symmetrix Enginuity features to manage storage
Use Enginuity features to manage non-Symmetrix storage from
EMC and other vendors
