Cisco CASI Training Advanced Storage Implementations and Troubleshooting
 Description
Storage Area Networking is now a mission critical
component in the modern network. Unfortunately, because SANs are such a new technology, enterprises find themselves with a dramatic shortage in staff that understands advanced implementation
and troubleshooting concepts. This expert-led course directly addresses this need by focusing on advanced storage networking topics for the Cisco ® MDS 9000 family of switches. CASI prepares
candidates to build virtual SAN fabrics, build heterogeneous SAN fabrics, configure management and security services, and exhibit advanced troubleshooting skills. Since failures in the SAN can
be so devastating to an enterprise, a significant portion of the course is devoted to advanced troubleshooting techniques.
Objectives
Upon completion of the Cisco ® Advanced Storage Implementation and Troubleshooting (CASI) course, the student will be able to:
- Implement a SAN with multiple virtual fabrics using the full range of features and capabilities provided by the Cisco ®
MDS platform, so that the SAN demonstrates high availability, scalability, and performance
- Configure and use fabric management, performance management, and security services on the Cisco ® MDS platform, so that the SAN can be effectively managed, tuned, and secured
- Given a set of observable symptoms on a Fiber Channel SAN, diagnose and correct software configuration issues and
inoperable hardware components, so that the problems are resolved with minimal disruption to the SAN environment
- Diagnose and resolve issues using advanced diagnostic tools
