Managing HPE 3PAR StoreServ I Management and local replication Azerbaijan Eğitimi

This course reviews HP 3PAR hardware and architecture along with providing administrators insight into the constructs within the HP 3PAR array family. Topics include Management Console (MC)and Command Line Interface (CLI), Common Provisioning Groups, Thin Provisioning, data encryption used by self-encrypting drives and Virtual Lock. Dynamic Optimization and Adaptive Optimization are also discussed. Virtual Copies and Physical Copies are addressed as well. The course is approximately 50 percent lecture and 50 percent hands-on labs using HP 3PAR arrays. Note: hosts used are MS Windows.
