Course Details

In this course, you will gain thorough exposure to performance on the VNX Block platform with NXE OE for Block Release 32 and Unisphere. You will focus on the use of Unisphere Analyzer, Unisphere, and Navisphere Secure CLI to gather performance statistics, and the analysis of those performance statistics. You will also cover how to gather performance statistics from the VNX system, and the analysis of those performance statistics. Other topics include gathering performance statics from common host platforms and the use of those statistics in performance analysis. You will learn the performance implications of using VNX Block Replication Software (SnapView, VNX Snapshots, MirrorView, and SAN Copy). You will learn to analyze pre-captured data through in-depth discussions and extensive hands on lab exercises. This course currently supports VNX Block OE R32.
