NetApp MetroCluster configurations combine array-based clustering with synchronous replication to deliver continuous availability, immediately duplicating all of your mission-critical data on a transaction-by-transaction basis. MetroCluster configurations enhance the built-in high availability and non-disruptive operations of NetApp hardware and ONTAP storage software, providing an additional layer of protection for the entire storage and host environment.
Overview
MetroCluster software is a unique, high-availability, and disaster-recovery solution. . In this MCCIPIW: ONTAP MetroCluster IP Implementation NetApp training course, you learn how to cable and set up a NetApp ONTAP MetroCluster environment. You will complete participatory exercises to practice the configuration and verification steps. You also learn how to identify component failures and practice recovery steps.
Skills Covered
This course focuses on enabling you to do the following:
- Describe the major architectural components of a NetApp MetroCluster environment
- Identify how to cable nodes and back-end IP switches
- Set up back-end IP switches
- Configure the clusters at both local and remote sites in a MetroCluster environment
- Set up a MetroCluster configuration and serve data to clients
- Detect and recover from failures in a MetroCluster environment
- Install and configure NetApp ONTAP Mediator service
