COURSE DESCRIPTION
The Veritas InfoScale Storage 7.1 for Unix/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 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
This course is available in the following delivery methods:
Instructor-led training (ILT)
Virtual Academy (VA)
Duration
Five days
