Objectives:
A central focus of the course ST104 Brocade™ FOS 8.x / 9.x Admin Advanced is the monitoring, analysis and troubleshooting of errors in the SAN. Practical examples are used to show how problems in the SAN can be proactively prevented and how errors can be detected and eliminated. To this end, in-depth knowledge of the FC protocol is built up and the relationships and interaction of the individual components located in the SAN are presented.The course uses practical exercises to provide information on understanding log files, hardware diagnostics output and port log dumps. Within the framework of practical exercises, the course participant will gain an understanding of how problems and performance bottlenecks in the SAN can be identified and, if necessary, eliminated.
The presentation of security in the SAN and here particularly the implementation of SCC, DCC and DHCHAP isanother focus of the course.
The complex heterogeneous test environment is composed of:
-Servers: Windows, Linux or VMware™
-Storage: All-Flash Storage Systems
-Switches: Brocade™ G720/ G620/ 6505/ 6510
This training serves as a practical supplement for the "Brocade™ GEN 7 SAN Specialist" certification.
