Resumen del Curso
This course provides a complete view of designing, installing and managing a ScaleIO or Ready Node system. You will perform in itial design and installation and then walk through a typical working day of activities for a ScaleIO administrator, including working with the MDM, SDS, SDC, volumes, adjusting cache, and administrating the system. A deeper understanding of the architecture and components will be introduced so the administrator understands the impact of their actions and perform monitoring and troubleshooting. Demonstrations and hands-on labs complete the learning experience.
