Duration: 3 Days
In this course, you will gain thorough exposure to performance on the VNX Block Storage Systems with Block OE Release 31.5 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 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, MirrorView, and SAN Copy). You will learn to analyze pre-captured data through in-depth discussions and lab exercises using performance tools. This course currently supports VNX Block OE R31.5.
