COURSE DESCRIPTION
The Veritas InfoScale Storage 7.0 for Linux:
Administration course is designed for the IT professional tasked with installing, configuring, and maintaining the
Veritas InfoScale Storage environments, including
Volume Manager (VxVM), File System (VxFS), and
Cluster File System (CFS).
This five day, instructor-led, hands-on class covers how to use InfoScale Storage to manage disks, disk groups, and volumes by using a variety of InfoScale Storage user interfaces including the Veritas InfoScale Operations
Manager (VIOM) Web console. You learn the basics of online file system administration and recovery from disk failures. In addition, you learn about data replication using Veritas File Replicator and Veritas Volume
Replicator. You also learn how to configure Veritas
Cluster Volume Manager and Veritas Cluster File
System.
Delivery Method
Instructor-Led Training (ILT)
Duration
Five days
